A Nigerian man wanted in the United States for cyber fraud has been arrested by operatives of the Bureau of Immigration in Quezon City. The BI fugitive search unit nabbed Ahmed Kamilu Alex, 35, along Panay Avenue in Barangay Paligsahan on October 11 — months after he was included in the immigration blacklist for being a fugitive from justice.
According to the Immigration Bureau, US authorities alleged that Alex conspired with two other accomplices in perpetrating a cyber fraud scheme by creating bogus websites that mimicked legitimate US government agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic.The suspects reportedly managed to charge their unsuspecting victims, who are mostly military personnel, between US$500 to US$48,500 purportedly as payment for processing their emergency leave requests through the fake websites.
