Marietta man indicted in online romance scam that cost Virginia woman $6.5 million
"Online romance scams have become more and more common in recent years, but few have cost their victims $6.5 million.
Nnamdi Marcellus MgBodile is charged with 20 counts of bank fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to commit bank fraud, Pak said in a news release. MgBodile is also accused of a business email compromise (BEC) scam in which he and others attempted to defraud a Georgia company out of nearly $350,000.
“Online romance scams and business email compromise frauds have increasingly become the method of choice for transnational fraudsters targeting U.S. residents and companies,” Pak said. “In this case, a single victim allegedly lost millions.”

Commenters: "One question....If the genders were reversed and a guy got fleeced by a woman would the courts intervene? I think not....EQUALITY !! So women want equality until it fleeces them monetarily? The article labels this woman as “vulnerable”....from what little detail the article actually gives I would consider this woman just a fool . If this were a man getting ripped off people would just laugh and call him an idiot thinking with the wrong head . So am I supposed to feel sorry for this females idiotic transfer of MILLIONS to to mugambi ono iliedtoadumbbroad ? NOPE its called EQUALITY ladies..ah gee I can’t call a female a lady can I? I know the onoiliedtoadumbbroad will be #1 and she can be #2.....there just a number all EQUAL....niceeeeeeee."
