New Delhi, Feb 9 (Inditop.com) Three Nigerians were arrested from east Delhi for duping people through an internet lottery scam, police said Tuesday.
The trio — Smart, Godfrey and Iyobasa — was arrested Monday for the fraud.
The accused first informed the victims that they have won a lottery over the internet and then charged some amount to help them claim it.
“The accused demanded money from the victims to help them in getting the lottery prize money,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (east Delhi) K.C. Dwivedi.
The police said the accused came to India in August last year on fake passports.
Three laptops, eight mobile phones, fake documents and expired passports were also recovered from them.
