The Guardia Civil in Spain is investigating 13 Nigerian men who posed as “virtual boyfriends” to swindle more than 250,000 euros from their unsuspecting victims. Officials confirm that the majority of the fraudsters reside in Spain and have connections to countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy and Nigeria.
The so-called ‘Operation Loverboy’ began in June 2021 when a woman reported that she had been scammed online for months. The subsequent investigation discovered nine more victims in Madrid, Barcelon.
