Two
Nigerian men, Christian Nnadike, 34, Collins Deke, 37, (pictured above) along
with a Vietnamese female accomplice, Le Thi Kim Quyen, 35, was sentenced by a
Vietnamese court for hacking into emails of local companies swindle them of
their money.
The two
Nigerian got 12 years each while Le Thi Kim Quyen, 35, was sentenced to 15 years in prison and
another Nigerian, de facto husband of the Vietnamese lady, Mark Mamado
Abdallah, 39, who is currently at large, ran a scamming syndicate in Vietnam.
According to prosecutors, the group defrauded many unsuspecting victims of over VND3.3 billion (US$150,000) between April and August 2013. Most of this came from the email hacking scheme.
Prosecutors said over the four months, the vietnamese woman, Quyen and her Nigerian husband, Abdallah hacked into the emails of several Vietnamese companies doing business with foreign companies. They gave the information to Nnadikwe and then Deke, who would later transfer it to another Nigerian man living in Malaysia. The unknown man in Malaysia then used the compromised email accounts to contact the victims’ foreign partners, asking them to send payments to a bank account opened by Quyen and Abdallah.
