Four Nigerians jailed For duping single White women out of £220,000 (See Photos)

Four Nigerians who were specialized in a ‘highly sophisticated’ crime which used a false dating profile to snare victims’ have been jailed.

These guys were smart to make use of a dating site match.com to send messages, e-mails and texts of love and “overblown affection”to single ladies with a false profile.

After a week week trail, Monty Emu, Adewunmi Nusi, Emmanuel and Chukwuka Ugwu, 29 admitted money laundering.
Sentencing the four men, Judge Susan Evans QC said: “This was a highly sophisticated conspiracy to defraud, it preyed on the trusting, the lonely and the emotionally vulnerable.

“The amount of planning was, in my view, substantial and would have required a highly organised group of individuals.”
She continued: “Some of those females that were targeted were utterly taken in by this cruel scam and the sophistication of the crime means it’s unsurprising that some of them were taken in.

“The hurt and distress you caused them was enormous. It’s not even about the loss of the money being at the forefront of this, it’s about the emotional hurt you caused them.”

A victim, Ms Hardman, from Basingstoke, said : “From the day I reported the incident to the police, I felt very vulnerable and sick to my stomach. As I look back, I felt groomed and that is how I became a victim of this, I wouldn’t want anyone else to be a victim of this type of crime.

“I do feel a duty to warn others, women specifically, of this type of theft over dating websites and the internet.
“The money itself was to act as a pension and to support my family as I got old, one could say I have lost everything that I had from a 28-year marriage.”
