Indian Police Arrest Four Nigerians Over Internet Fraud

On Saturday January 3rd, the Hyderabad police in India arrested four Nigerians including a woman over internet fraud. The police said they recovered a car, money and mobile phones from them

The accused, Peter Austin (29), Eboh Felix (26), Steffi Ebohon (24) and Uzaonicha Daniel Iwenwanne (26), reportedly contacted a student named Mohd Wasiuddin, and told him he's won some money. The police said the gang managed to convince the unsuspecting victim to deposit money for registration, customs clearance, processing fees and other expenses. 

"Believing the gang members, Wasiuddin deposited about Rs. 35 lakh in different bank accounts operated from Gujarat, Rajasthan and Mumbai, only to realize later that it was fraud" the police in charge said

The police arrested the four Nigerians after posing as another victim and tracing their phone call data record and email conversations. Do people still fall prey to these type of scams? Just asking.
