Fizzy – This Nigerian Conman Is Off The Charts
04 Jul 2014 by Jasmine Stone in Crime, World
While you may be still awaiting the $1 million to be transferred from your long-lost Nigerian “uncle” following his passing, a new conman has upped the ante and is reaping some serious benefits from naive victims.
Frank “Fizzy” Onyeachonam has been running a lottery scam that targeted pensioners and stripped them of their hard-earned retirement money.
The ruse – known as an ‘advance fee’ fraud – saw Onyeachonam send victims emails claiming they had won millions of pounds on a non-existent Australian lottery and requesting a charge to release their winnings.
Investigators traced 14 victims – mainly from the U.S. – and eventually led the cyber investigation back to ole Fizzy, who wasn’t very subtle with his scam, posting pictures of the stolen money (and his purchases with it) all over Facebook.
Check out some of his pictures below:
