For most of them, they are desperate to find love, so they take their search online, only for people to use their desperation against them.

How could the elderly victims having so much experience in life fall into his trap. He might have taken advantage of their loneliness.

It is very sad that some of these guys are making Nigerians looks like scams and people who are not to be trusted. Nigeria government should find a way to uproot these evil souls out of country and save us from unnecessary embarrassment.
