It is a common misconception that if you scam someone with crypto then you are off the hook and that there is no legal action that can be taken against you because of the anonymity in crypto. However the Nigerian authorities ae proving this wrong.
In fact the Nigerian government has called on the people in helping to locate someone named Omotade Sparks Amos Sewanu, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the Inksnation crypto scam. For those of you that are unaware of this scam, this was first started in the start of the lockdown period, where people that invested were promised a lifetime income, depending on the investment platform and package that they choose. Now for many this may seem like an obvious scam, but one must understand the during the lockdown many were desperate and these scammer preyed on that feeling.
Now the scam was paying its users in Pinkoin crypto, however this is not listed on any of the Nigerian exchanges. There are testimonials to show payment, however these can be faked and are often the case in these scams and even on ponsi schemes. As a result fraud charges are being laid here, and the person has been put on the wanted list, showing the seriousness of the crime. Especially since the company was warned and ignored these warnings and continued their operations.
