Three Nigerian men have been fingered in alleged fraud relating to a business email compromise (BEC) scheme to the tune of $6 million in the United States. <\/p>\n

The suspects are Kosi Goodness Simon-Ebo, 29; James Junior Aliyu, 28; and Henry Onyedikachi Echefu, 31. The suspects are said to be residing in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Their indictment is contained in a statement<\/a> by the US Department of Justice, on Thursday. <\/p>\n

According to the statement, the defendants allegedly conspired with some residents in Maryland to gain \u201cunauthorised access to email accounts associated with individuals and businesses\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the seven-count indictment, from February 2016 until at least July 2017, the defendants conspired with others to perpetrate a BEC scheme,\u201d the US DOJ said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically, the indictment alleges that the defendants and their co-conspirators, including co-conspirators residing in Maryland, gained unauthorised access to email accounts associated with individuals and businesses targeted by the conspirators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe co-conspirators then allegedly sent false wiring instructions to the victims\u2019 email accounts from \u201cspoofed\u201d emails, which are emails with forged sender addresses, to deceive the victims into sending money to bank accounts controlled by perpetrators of the scheme, called \u201cdrop accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe indictment also alleges that the defendants conspired to commit money laundering by disbursing the fraudulently obtained funds in the drop accounts to other accounts by initiating account transfers, withdrawing cash, obtaining cashier\u2019s checks, and by writing checks to other individuals and entities, to hide the true ownership and the source of those assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the statement, the US said the first defendant \u2014 Simon-Ebo \u2014 was extradited to the US from Canada on Wednesday and expected to make his first appearance in court on Friday.<\/p>\n

Giving details of the alleged crime, the US said: \u201cFor example, defendant Aliyu is alleged to have made a $350,000 wire transfer from one of the drop accounts in Maryland to an account he controlled in South Africa, knowing that the funds were the proceeds of a crime and that the transaction was designed to conceal the nature, source, and ownership of those funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically, Simon-Ebo is charged in three wire fraud counts involving $6,343,533.10 in victim funds being wired to accounts controlled by conspirators.\u201d<\/p>\n

The defendants are liable to 20 years in federal prison if found guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
