                                           (Adewunmi Nusi and victim Suzanne Hardman)

Two men in the UK have been arrested and found guilty of perpetrating a dating scam and one of them is a Nigerian.

The Mirror reports that 37-year-old Adewunmi Nusi and Monty Emu, 28 have been convicted of money laundering after illegally obtaining £220,000 (N57,810,815.37) from vulnerable women who were looking for love.

The charade was carried out on dating site Match.com  and victims were made to believe that they were making contact with a man called James Richards.

“Mr. Richards” fed the unsuspecting women with a tale that he had inherited £1.5m from his late father and that he needed £700 to get to India so he could get access to the money.

One victim, Suzanne Hardman, who had just separated from her husband, was tricked into paying out £174k.

Both Nusi and Emu were found guilty of the charges after a majority verdict.
