EFCC arrests four suspected fraudsters for fake transaction alerts
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has arrested four suspected fraudsters in Maiduguri, Borno.
This is contained in a statement by Dele Oyewale, the spokesman of the commission, on Monday in Abuja.
Mr Oyewale said the suspects allegedly sent fake transaction credit alerts to their victims in Maiduguri.
He said EFCC operatives arrested the suspects on Friday in Maiduguri metropolis, following intelligence on their fraudulent acts.
”Preliminary investigations showed that the suspects were operating using a Business App of a bank to purchase food and non-food items as well as collecting money from Point-of-Sale (POS) agents, cashiers and sending fake transaction credits to them.
”They would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” he said.
