EFCC Recovers $2000 For American Victim Duped By A Nigerian She Met On Facebook (Photo)

Relief came for one Margaret Sanders, an American based in Sherman, Texas, as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, successfully recovered the sum of $2000.00 (two thousand USD) which she had lost to a suspected Nigerian fraudster, Benjamin Akugbe, in a romance scam.

Read statement below;
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has brought Relief for one Margaret Sanders, an American based in Sherman, Texas after successfully recovering the sum of $2000.00 (two thousand USD) which she had lost to a suspected Nigerian fraudster, Benjamin Akugbe, in a romance scam, through a petition dated July 9, 2013, alleged that she entered into a relationship on Facebook, with someone who claimed to be Benny Brown from Warri, Delta State, with both agreeing to get married.
According to her, the suspect in the course of the affair, requested for the sum of $2000.00 USD to enable him join her in United States of America. The money was wired to him through Western Union, into an account with the name, Gladdys Ikpoba, domiciled with a new generation bank. After an endless wait for the finance, Sanders came to the sad realization that she had been duped. 
But her efforts to recover the money were unsuccessful until she petitioned the EFCC. The Commission, through discreet investigation, recovered and returned the money to the victim.

  7. That's a nice one. It it disheartening when guys go around duping people. A lady who trusting you, you promised to marry her. And she went to the extent of wiring you money, just to end up to be duped. I think this guy deserve to be forgotten in the prison. Though it was not reported if he was arrested, but atleast it is good that her money was recovered back.
