A Nigerian national identified as Chinaka Chinedum and his Thai girlfriend Uraporn Kaesawattana who have been scamming Thai women for a year, were arrested in Bangkok yesterday after conning Thai women seeking rich white husband of more than 20 million baht.
The 23-year old Chinaka and 34-year-old Uraporn, were apprehended by the police in Nong Khaem district yesterday after police received reports that the couple lured Thai women into transferring money to their account with the oldest trick in the book - that their white lover would like to send them an expensive present worth thousands of dollars, but the ladies need to pay the import fee, Coconuts Bangkok reported.
According to Bangkok Biz News, police said the couple worked with two other Thai women, who police are seeking to arrest. First, Chinedu would find Thai women who want a white husband on dating sites and approach them as a white rich man who wants to get married.
Uraporn would then get in touch with the victims telling them that in order for the present to be released, they should pay for the fee amounting to $30,000 - $50,000. Once the money is received, the fake rich husband material will simply ignore the victim.
Uraporn was charged for fraud while Chinedu has only been charged for overstaying his visa because the police canot find evidence against him... and will soon be deported as well.
