Delhi police have uncovered a disturbing scam that preyed upon the trust of more than a hundred women across India. The scheme was built on a single, elaborate lie: a foreign businessman seeking language practice.
The alleged architect, a 29-year-old Nigerian man, is accused of creating a false identity. He posed as a wealthy Korean businessman from the United Kingdom on a popular language exchange application to connect with his targets.
Officials say this fake persona was the hook used to build romantic connections and gain the women’s confidence. Once trust was established, the digital conversations allegedly turned to fraud, leading to significant financial losses for the victims.
His recent arrest in Delhi sheds light on a wider pattern of sophisticated online deception. The case exposes how dating and language apps can be twisted into tools for crime, leaving a trail of broken trust and emptied bank accounts across the country.
