Two years after he was involved in a $200,000 scam, operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Lagos zone have finally arrested Mr. Blessing Ezeh Chinasa, 34.

He allegedly obtained the money through Western Union Money Transfer and MoneyGram in April, 2005 from the United States of America and the Netherlands through Miss Linda’s accounts in those countries.

According to the petition sent to the anti-graft agency by Linda, “Blessing contacted me saying that he was a member of a charity organisation soliciting for assistance, either in cash or kind, which he claimed would be transferred to the poor and physically challenged persons.”

She stated further that Blessing solicited for large sums of money to process certain funds and, “I gave him what he requested for, through the Western Union Money Transfer and MoneyGram.”

When the anti-graft commission questioned Ezeh, he made some confessional statements. He said: “I am an auto parts dealer but equally neck deep in Yahoo-Yahoo business. A Togolese introduced me into it. He also introduced me to Linda.

“However, Linda did not know my true identity, I introduced myself to her as Barrister John, working for Nafis Law Associates.

“My e-mail address is madamjoyfoundation@yahoo.com with phone No. 08037232304 and 01-474362.”

Trouble emanated between Ezeh and his Togolese friend when he played a fast one on his friend.

An EFCC source told Mid-Week Crime Watch that at least $5,850 has already been recovered from the suspect.

A 44-year-old Austin woman was scammed of $2,400 from someone she met on the social networking site MySpace, according to Police Chief Paul Philipp, who said cases like these are ”next to impossible” to solve.

The report said the woman met Michael Collins, also known as Michael Collins Nathan, in September, and had been having daily conversations with him for about two months when he asked her to help him send money abroad. Collins claimed he needed help with a transaction to Nigeria, one of many places he alleged he did business worldwide.

The woman agreed to help, according to the report, and sent $2,400 via Western Union at Cashwise to a Tom Watt in Denver, Colo., after receiving six $500 traveler’s checks.

She was informed by her bank the checks were fake, she said, after she attempted to deposit five $850 money orders from a Steve Williams in Bartow, Fla. The report did not indicate where she’d again agreed to send money.

The woman said she’d worked out an arrangement to repay the $2,400 in installments of $50 a month.
