The Nigeria Police have arrested two suspected fraudsters who
impersonated officials of the Nigeria Customs Service auctioneers on
Facebook and other social media sites.
The police also warned members of the public to be wary of
fraudsters who pretend to be officials from the Customs auction
Department or agent, as they use it to swindle unsuspecting victims.
Already, Saturday and Amos had defrauded a businessman, Adeniyi
Adegboyega, of N4.3million in a phony car auctioning deal, before they
were arrested in Ewan, Edo State.
Adegboyega, a Lagos based businessman, said he met them on Facebook
and they made him believe that they were genuine custom officials on
auction exercise but ended up defrauding him of his hard-earned money.
