Graduate of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho, Babatunde Fatai revealed that he disguised as a genuine lover to defrauding foreign women and men on 'Love and Dating' site in a bid to make money.

Fatai, who has been arrested by the Oyo state police command, said he had been in the internet fraud business for decade.

Oyo police arrested the University graduate on the ground of internet crimes and robbery.

Fatai, who was arraigned by a court, was thereafter granted bail.

According to Fatai, “Internet business is painstaking. I would go to site to woo men and women and ensure they fall in love with me by regularly sending love and romantic messages and even calling them regularly to deceive them into giving me their account details.”

“At times, I would send fake emails to bank customers making it look like it emanated from their banks. Then I would ask them to change their password, PIN or other bank account security details.
