What is confirmed
According to The National, six Nigerian nationals were extradited to the US in an alleged romance fraud case.
The outlet reports more than 100 victims and losses in the millions; those figures relate to the reported case.
What it means
Fake profiles, long conversations and urgent money requests allow remote targeting at scale.
Extradition is a procedural step, not a conviction.
What to do
Do not send money or ID to someone known only online without independent verification.
If you paid, retain evidence, contact your bank immediately and report the accounts involved.
