Nigerian scammer poses as hot Euro lover, cons Thai women out of B1 million
Police announced yesterday they arrested one of the two Nigerian men from a romance scam gang who posed as European lovers and deceived Thai women for their money online.
Mgbenka Ogochukwu, 35, was caught at his condominium on Lat Krabang Wednesday after police were tipped off on his scams. Police said Mgbenka was flirting with several Thai women as “Luis Mark” on the Line application, using photos of hot European men.
The man would tell the victims he was moving to Thailand with a bunch of cash, but was detained at the airport immigration and needed about THB100,000 – THB150,000 to pay for his fine, police said.
