Was pointed to this on DnM

All it took was a TV channel to get involved for the EFCC to pull their thumbs out and arrest someone. Do I sense a pattern? :evil:

(edit) Ok, so this seems to be an old article. Still worth watching tho.

That's just a different report on the same woman over a year ago. I think so far she's the only one. And as of that date she's only recovered $10K of her $40. Still it's a great report. I wish the US was as up on the warnings as the Aussies appear to be. Maybe this latest batch of reporters sniffing around will do something as worthwhile.

;) :P

We had a Japanese victim in the male section who kept refering to this case, saying: see, they DO get arrested! But I always say: the ONLY cases when romance scammers got arrested were when media and major TV channels got involved: Dateline and Oprah (US), Tonight (UK), this Australian channel. If you are an ordinary victim with no "connections" - forget about arrest of your scammer. Even the police officer in the video admitted it was an "unusual" case.
