EFCC through the help of Interpol operation targeting malware cyber fraud across Southeast Asia has arrested three Nigerians aged between 31-38 suspected of engaging in global scamming.
The agency arrested the suspects who were caught with fake documents including; fraudulent invoices and forged official letters in a sting operation conducted simultaneously in a Lagos suburb called Ajegunle and in Benin City, Edo State capital.
This was contained in a statement by the Spokesman for the EFCC Mr. Wilson Uwujaren in Tuesday.
One of the scammers, Hendrix Omorume has been charged with three counts of serious financial fraud and has been convicted and sentenced to one year imprisonment, while the trials of the others is still ongoing.
Uwujaren adds that Interpol often assists in examining the laptops and mobile phones seized by the agency during the arrests and also helping to confirm the systematic use of Agent Tesla malware to access business computers and divert monetary transactions to their own accounts.
