The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has arrested four
persons who attempted to carry out a fraudulent Bank Wire Transfer to
the tune of $200,000.
 |
The suspects were identified as Ajiero Onyeka, Clement Peter, Mustapha Zubiri and Agbo Austine Taylor.
A team of EFCC operatives in Abuja swooped down on the suspects as
they were about to transfer the money from the account of an
unsuspecting foreigner into a domiciliary account in Nigeria.
 |
The Commission was tipped off when the suspects were sourcing for
domiciliary account number which they will use to receive the money.
Bank Wire Transfer fraudsters have a practice of using other people’s
domiciliary account to receive fraudulent money with the promise of
giving the account holder a commission from the money.
 |
In some other instances, some of the account holders will be kept
totally in the dark as to the source of the fund. When the transaction
is completed, the account holder will become the hunted criminal, while
the main perpetrator will disappear without traces.
 |
The public is hereby warned to be vigilant and not to give out their
account numbers for the purpose of receiving money on behalf of anyone.
The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
