Hello all,
I know this might come off as digressive, but I am thinking of making a thread that would be regularly updated with arrested scammers (in mainly Nigeria).
Let me know if you would be interested in that kind of content.

It's a good sign of progress to show, as well as reporting bank accounts and stopping ITP's and unaware mules.
Not to mention it's satisfying to see these scumbags get served.

Four (ALLEGED) scammers arrested in Benue Makurdi- A somewhat popular story actually. Scammer Names - (REDACTED) Damisa, (REDACTED) James, (REDACTED) Ebosele, (REDACTED) Deborah. DetailsMuch wasn't posted on the EFCC website, but here is the link . Higher resolution versions of their beautiful mugshots can be found on the EFCC twitter page. In case you were wondering, OBT means Obtainment by false pretence. I searched the web and it doesn't seem like these scammers have been baited before. The EFCC said that they were arrested due to "intelligence reports," maybe a jealous rival gang. Who knows? 🤷 Their leader(I think) was caught with a Benz worth 5 million naira ~$10,000 (very very VERY not affordable for the vast majority of Nigerians), He was also caught with 5 phones(3 iPhones), and other items. Details are in the above link. He was actually smiling in the mugshot, eww. The reason this story is so interesting and funny is because of the last person, the girl (Deborah). On the day she was arrested, she made a post flexing on Facebook. Look closely and you'll see that she put on the same outfit in her mugshot . She made the Facebook post on the first of May. You can search for her moniker on Facebook and go through her profile, she has a social media presence. A lot of (mostly sympathetic) comments are under the post made on the day of her arrest. She hasn't posted since then. The EFCC hasn't made any update to the case since they posted their arrest. best guess is that they are still detained. NOTE: I tried not to upload their photos and names directly on the website to protect the forum; hence the numerous links and vagueness.

Six Suspected Internet Fraudsters arrested in Enugu. (May 25)- EFCC Link
- Clearer Images
- They are very young, around Senior Secondary/University age. - They were arrested with 11 phones and 2 laptops - Their leader(T) had a very expensive car (For a Nigerian). Interestingly, someone with the exact same name and location as T was arrested last year December for another online scam; It seems to be a romance scam. This sadly shows that scammers can be released after being "arrested", and they can go back to their old ways without remorse. ________ - I wanted to be more consistent with this thread. But I get most of these news from Twitter and the app was recently banned in my country. - Webpages with embedded twitter posts(which is most Nigerian news/blog posts) do not load and VPNs have their own issues: slower speeds, higher data consumption, google websites not working etc.
