Nigerian scammers used U.S. airbase in Iraq?
Nick Farrell writes in The Inquirer:
A GROUP of Nigerian email scammers used forged paperwork to work from the US airbase Camp Cooke, Al Taji, in Iraq.
A site dedicated to exposing scammers claims to have paperwork which shows that a gang, famous for its scams, shifted their operation to Iraq when the heat got too much in their home country.
The leader, alleged to be Arinze Udemezue, apparently recruited scammers from various countries for civilian contracting jobs at the base in Iraq. He concealed their past criminal history with forged documents.
The big idea is that after they had worked for him, they would have laundered their identities by holding down official jobs in Iraq for six months. After that the criminals could leave for Europe or the USA as "new men".
