A victim of internet fraud in Brazil, Debora Moreira, has confirmed the receipt of $4,040 which was recovered by the Port Harcourt Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on her behalf.
Debora Moreira was involved in a romance scam with Emmanuel Tope, a proven fraudster, and got swindled by him.
EFCC began thorough investigation of the fraudulent act in March 2019 and successfully traced the money, recovered the money, prosecuted the fraudster and convicted the fraudster.
EFCC released a statement and said the money recovered has been remitted into Moreira’s account with Bank Itau S/A, Rua Americo Brasiliense via the Central Bank of Nigeria.
