Three Nigerians were arrested yesterday with their Vietnamese gang of fraudsters for cheating more than 100 victims around the country out of more than $900,000.
Three Nigerian men and other members of their gang have been arrested by Vietnamese Police for allegedly conning people out of more than $1.3 million.
It was learnt that the gangs tricked the victims by informing them they had won grand prizes or gift packages from abroad but had to pay some money as fees for collecting the prize or bribing police and customs officers since the gifts were of big value. They used bank accounts created with stolen or fake ID cards to collect the money.
