I Used Cybercrime Proceeds To Pay For My Post-UTME – Teenage Yahoo Boy Reveals

19-year-old Emmanuel David, who was arrested by operatives of the Osun State Police Command for online fraud, has disclosed that he used the proceed of his online scam to pay for his post-University Matriculation Test Examination expenses.

The teenage online fraudster, who was arrested alongside two other teenagers, Chibuike Godspower, 16, and Jesse Izedi, 16, claimed he was caught in his first deal worth N315,000.

David said he withdrew the money from the online Union-direct account of his Facebook friend, who operated a Point of Sales terminal.

He added that he moved the money from the account to Godspower’s online account after Jedi guest the victim’s password.

“I used the money to travel to Calabar in Cross River State for my Post UTME in February this year and also pay for my accommodation from the proceed,” he said.

Meanwhile, one of his accomplices, Jedi said he was given N10,000 from the proceed for guessing the password accurately.

Similarly, Godspower said he was given N30,000 having made available his online account details in which the money was deposited.
