A group of Oyinbo men have successfully tracked down an internet fraudster, commonly known as a "Yahoo boy," in Nigeria, who had scammed a US woman named Leah.
The dramatic revelation of this elaborate scheme unfolded through an eye-opening video on TikTok, where the Oyinbo men, in collaboration with Social Catfish, managed to outsmart the unsuspecting fraudster, ultimately disclosing his location using his IP address.
The captivating video has garnered substantial attention on social media, recounting the story of Leah, a US woman who had been through three failed marriages and believed she had found love in an unexpected place.
Six months ago, she crossed paths with a man who went by the name Christopher Rodriguez on Facebook.
However, Christopher Rodriguez turned out to be a fictitious persona created by the Nigerian "Yahoo boy," who had stolen the identity of a real white man named Eric Powell.
Presenting himself as a day trader from Ohio, the fraudster successfully manipulated Leah, turning her into a "cash mule."
Over time, he gained access to her bank credentials and, more tragically, her love and trust.
Unbeknownst to Leah, the person she believed to be her online love interest was merely an elaborate hoax.
Leah's situation took a devastating turn when the fraudster's true intentions were uncovered by the group of white men who had made it their mission to expose him.
In the TikTok video, one of the men explained that Leah had gone to extraordinary lengths for love, even preparing to relocate to Miami on November 10 to be with the person she believed was Christopher Rodriguez.
"On top of the fact that I gave up my job to move to Miami. I don't even have enough gas in my car to do DoorDash to make more money. I am broke. I am broken," Leah lamented.
