EFCC returns $4,040 to Brazilian victim of internet fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said it has returned the sum of $4,040 to a Brazilian with the name Debora Moreira, who was a victim of internet fraud, and acknowledged the receipt of the sum of $4,040 which was recovered on her behalf by the Port Harcourt Zonal Office of the EFCC.

A convicted fraudster, whose name is Emmanuel Tope, was told to have dupped Moreira who lost her money to him, on a romance scam.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) began their investigation of the scam in March 2019 and finally recovered the money, and arresred and prosecuted the fraudster who was later convicted.

EFCC in a statement released said that the proceeds of crime were remitted into the victim’s account with Bank Itau S/A, Rua Americo Brasiliense, through the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Thanks to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for bringing smile to this woman's face. I hope things like this continue, as i am not in support of fraudulent acts, and i stand for the truth.

May God continue to protect us and provide for us. Amen.
