they were able to gain trust of these perhaps lonely pensioners and uh business people.
voice-verified
They were able to defraud them and they disappeared into thin air.
voice-verified
They are accused of uh defrauding a hundred women in the United States through what police in South Africa described as a sophisticated uh online uh scams.
voice-verified
you know, scammed by uh people in South Africa and they desperately are in need of cash.
voice-verified
They need to buy phones, you know, laptops and uh even to pay legal fees because uh say there's an emergency that has come up in the course of uh doing business.
voice-verified
And so that's what uh they were able to do but principally they were able to gain trust of you know these perhaps lonely pensioners and uh business people
voice-verified
people and then over time they were able out to request them to send them money.

voice-verified
But it did originate from Nigeria as just a student movement and then it evolved
voice-verified
Into what it has become right now as a criminal uh syndicate.
voice-verified
And then also in Nigeria you'd have groups of uh young people who call themselves Yahoo Boys.
voice-verified
So they're just a network of individuals.
voice-verified
So they don't have jobs, maybe because perhaps of the socioeconomic situation in Nigeria.
voice-verified
So you have a huge population of young uh people who are educated but they don't have uh you know job opportunities, and so for some of them
voice-verified
They see that uh online, you know, romance camps are an easy way, a lucrative way out of uh poverty.
voice-verified
So that's why you would see some Nigerian nationals have really been caught up in this crime.
