A court in Vietnam has sentenced two Nigerian men whose names are,
Christian Nnadike, 34, and Collins Deke, 37, (pictured above) to 12
years in prison each in Vietnam for hacking into the electronic mails of
some local companies, and also contacted the company’s foreign partners
and swindle them of their money.
These two men Christian and Collins were given prison sentences
alongside their accomplice, who actually is a Vietnamese female bearing
the name Le Thi Kim Quyen , who was also sentenced to 15 years in
prison. Le Thi has a husband named Mark Mamado Abdallah 39, who is
currently at large. She, her husband and the other two Nigerian men
mentioned ran a scamming syndicate in Vietnam.
A court hearing which took place in April, disclosed that the men and
their accomplice were guilty of another fraud scheme where they
pretended to be a British friend of two Vietnamese women on
Facebook and
allegedly asked them to send money as shipping fees to receive gifts.
According to the statement by prosecutors, the group defrauded many
unsuspecting victims of over VND3.3 billion (US$150,000) between April
and August 2013. Most of which came from the email hacking scheme.
The Prosecutors also stated that over these four months, the
vietnamese woman, Quyen and her Nigerian husband, Abdallah hacked into
the emails of several Vietnamese companies doing business with foreign
companies.
They also allegedly gave the information to Nnadikwe and then Deke,
who would later transfer it to another Nigerian man living in Malaysia.
This unknown man in Malaysia then uses the compromised email accounts
to contact the victims’ foreign partners, asking them to send payments
to a bank account opened by Quyen and Abdallah.
