Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On June 5, 2020, Phnom Penh Royal Gendarmerie sent a Nigerian man, DESMOND IWUJI , 31 years old, and a Cambodian woman, named Nhek Sarat, 35 years old, to the municipal court to follow the legal action. The suspects scammed a 47-year-old Cambodian woman; getting her to send them money three times. The couple took over a social media account and pretended to be an old rich guy from the US, who offered to send the victim enough money to build a house. They asked the victim to send them 8,500 USD, but the victim sent them only 3,500 USD.

The suspects used an account on media, named Shefeek Wilson, to contact the victim, and after three months of contact with the woman, the suspects said they wanted to send her money to build a house in Cambodia. So then, the victim gave them her phone number. A few days later, the victim received a call from the suspects asking her to send them the fees for the money transfer paperwork. They said she would get all money back after all the document was done.




So, on May 25, 2020, at noon, the victim sent US$500 to the suspects through TrueMoney, allegedly for some embassy documents, and then at 2 pm on the same day, the victim sent 2,500 USD to the suspects. Finally, at 4 pm the same day, the suspects asked the woman to send 5,500 USD more to seal the deal. The victim was confused, so she sent them only 500 USD.
The suspect, (who was quite upset at the stupidity of his victim), called her again to explain that it was 5,000 USD more that he needed, not $500.
The poor woman didn't have any more money, and she was becoming suspicious, so she filed a complaint at the police station.

After receiving the complaint, the Royal Gendarmerie made an investigation and arrested the suspects on June 2, 2020. The case was submitted to the court on June 04, 2020.

How is it that stupid people have enough intelligence to make money , and yet have no brains when it comes to knowing the difference between a good investment and a scam.

With all these Nigerian scam crimes, why are the authorities letting them into the country when they are such high risk?

I thought I read here before that african country have trouble getting visa to come to Cambodia. How are Nigerians getting past this?

Not sure about Cambodia but up until a couple of years ago the Nigerians were causing a lot of problems in Goa, mainly drug dealing and getting involved with the local Mafia. They were mainly on student visas, a couple of high profile cases and a mini riot was the final straw and now there are very few left.

The famous Dutch rectitude - "walk and talk with a broomstick up the bum uprightness" is as empty as a Nigerian marriage scammer or drug dealers promises.

Damn those decadent western capitalist multi-nationals for screwing Nigeria.

How about those Nigerian politicians and business man that take the bribes?

Anyhow, my point was not about feeling sorry for Nigerians who by circumstance resort to scamming. It was about why Cambodia allow them to come here when you look of all the news reports of scamming Nigerians here.. Anyone wonder if there any honest Nigerian in Cambodia?
