NIGERIAN MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY SCAMMED A WOMAN OF $150K ON FACEBOOK REFUSED BAIL

BEWARE!

Louise Hall, court reporter of the Sydney Morning Herald reports that a Nigerian, Chidoo​ Ohad​ Nukobam​, 24,  today, Sunday appeared before the Parramatta Bail Court on a charge of defrauding a woman he met on Facebook of the sum of $150,000. He was also formally refused bail even though he did not apply for it.

The police in a statement said Mr. Nukobam befriended a 42 year-old woman on Facebook, a social networking site in August 2014 and thereafter dishonestly obtained the $150,000 from her over a number of months.

The Nigerian fraudulently caused the woman to deposit the $150,000 into an off shore bank account and when she discovered it was a scam she reported to the police.

Apart from this matter, Mr Nukobam has been in custody in Western Australia on another case of fraud.

Mr. Nukobam is due to appear in the Campbelltown Local Court on Thursday.
