The love fraud was
perpetrated between March and December 2014, with the victim paid
£1.6million into numerous bank accounts, with the money then transferred
into various personal accounts, including £35,000 to the bank accounts
of the suspects.
The woman who is from Hillingdon in London, had met a man on the site who claimed to be Christian Anderson and
after a few weeks of chatting, the man proposed love to her which she
gladly accepted, believing she had found true love at last.
But
she did not envisage what would later hit her when Anderson, (Agbaje)
who had told her he was an engineer, sent her a request that he needed
money to fund engineering projects in Africa and free up inheritance
that was being held in a Dutch vault.
And that was the beginning of the fleecing as he kept going till she had spent all her money on him without seeing him.
She
had even met with 'Anderson's' lawyer (Ojo) and travelled to Amsterdam
to discuss money that was supposedly being held in a vault, as well as
searching for houses where she could live.
When they were arrested, Ojo and Agbaje had a copy of Neil Strauss's bestselling dating manual 'The Game' with them, which reveals the the skills and techniques used by 'pick up gurus' to seduce women.
Both men were facing jail today, after they admitted conspiracy to
defraud following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police's
specialist cyber crime and fraud detectives.
