A Nigerian judge last week sentenced internet scammer Emmanuel Chisom Mbah to two years in prison following a Mbah’s guilty plea on impersonation contrary to Section 1 (1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006, the Guardian of Nigeria reports.
Mbah is not royalty nor did he claim to be. Instead his racket was simply pretending to be a professional foreign exchange trader and ripped off two other Nigerian guys for $4,655. It’s not clear if he met his victims by cold emailing them but that would be fucking hilarious if he did.
