What are the odds? Ones family name is UGO and the other's first name is OGU... has to be some sort of (probably racist) joke about letters being lost in the Scrabble set at the naming centre.

The police aren't saying exactly. Maybe they don't want to give everyone ideas, LoL, as it probably worked numerous times before they were caught.

Indeed, they are probably not saying anything because Wing is still fixing the exploit. I'm curious though!

Actually a bit surprised Nigerians are working with money transfer scams based in Cambodia. Thought that's exlusively to the ones based in Nigeria. Let's see if the police is going to release some more details about it.

Great and fun site regarding this, btw:

My first time to see Cambodians girls have contact with black people. i think they might be more than just scam crew.
