CAMEROONIAN SCAMMER ARRESTED IN NORTH CAROLINA, USA

Scamming, as we all know, is a despicable act that is practiced by many young boys from several African countries. Spending someone else's hard-earned money is fun and easy until the law takes matters into its own hands. Alvin Mbenyenlla, popularly known as Nero Nero, is a Cameroonian based abroad, who has been accused and arrested for moving money overseas in a scam that promised victims puppies, fake identification documents, and other items that never arrived. He is currently charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to the court documents. 

The feds mentioned that Mbenyenlla used different names and aliases to collect at least $500,000 in wired funds from investors from 2014 to now. He acted as a money mule with unidentified conspirators in Cameroon by collecting the payments and sending them to his associates in Cameroon. He usually kept about 20 to 30 percent of the payments. 

It is important to note that scams involving puppies are not uncommon especially in African countries.
