The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has recovered and returned the sum of 10,000 Euros (Ten Thousand Euros) about Two Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira), to F. Mercade, a French citizen, who was victim of internet love scam.

The fund was wired to the victim through his account in France on the recommendation of the French Embassy in Nigeria.Roger Balima, French Police Liaison Officer who confirmed the receipt of the funds by the victim, thanked the EFCC “for the good job.”

Mercade was duped by two internet fraudsters, Omodara Adedapo Oluseye and Adesuyi Ayodeji Adedapo after he was deceived into a phantom relationship that was supposedly alter-bound.
The scam was reported to the Commission via a petition from the French Consulate in Lagos, on behalf of Mercade.

The petitioner alleged that he met a Nigerian beauty by name, 'Kate Williams' on the internet sometime in 2009 and they developed a relationship which was to culminate in marriage.
'Williams' was to relocate to join Mercade in France, to consummate the relationship. While Mercade planned the logistics of the relocation, 'Williams' who purportedly did some jobs for an unnamed company in Nigeria, came up with a story that the company refused to pay 'her' for job done.
