to 12 years in jail Tuesday, September 29, for two separate
fraud convictions, including one for pretending to love women
and conning them out of money. Oshanugor was convicted of
cyber fraud for appropriating other people’s assets.
The love con involved three others, including a Vietnamese
woman who is serving a 3-year sentence given in February
for the crime. Two other Nigerian men, the alleged
masterminds, are still at large.
The four met each other in September 2012 and decided
to cheat Vietnamese women by hooking up with them online,
pretending to become their lovers and promising them
expensive gifts, then faking phone calls and emails from
customs and shipping agencies to ask them to transfer
shipping fees to certain accounts.
Investigators found they had stolen more than 400 million
(US$17,800) from 10 women. Anyasi got 15 percent for
playing the role of an English businessman and chatting with
the women, the Vietnamese got 10 percent, and the other
two, reportedly based in Malaysia, took the rest.
One woman in southern Vietnam paid a “shipping fee” of
nearly VND21 million before getting an email asking for
another VND46 million. It was then that she realised it was
a scam. A woman in Nha Trang in central Vietnam paid nearly
VND100 million, believing it was a fee to receive around
VND10 billion Anyasi was transferring to Vietnam to buy land
in the resort town.
A Ho Chi Minh City woman, who was promised an iPhone, a
ring and 10,000 pounds, paid nearly VND12 million. In the
other fraud case, Anyasi stole nearly $12,000 by hacking
into the email of a Vietnamese company and asking its
partners to transfer the money. He was arrested in February
while waiting to board a flight to Cambodia.
