In Nigeria, a notorious scam known as the "Yahoo Yahoo" fraud saw cybercriminals posing as wealthy foreigners, luring victims with promises of love or lucrative business deals. One such case involved a young woman who believed she had found a wealthy overseas suitor. After months of trust-building, he claimed to be in a financial bind and needed her help to transfer a large sum of money. She sent her entire savings to him, only to discover that her "lover" was a fraudster, and the money was gone forever.
