He immigrated to Great Britain from Nigeria and immediately went to work preying on innocent women. But, you know, some women are just programmed to be victims. <\/p>\n<p>Take for example, Tine Jorgensen, the 47-year-old Danish widow in the Daily Mail story. She was sending this guy tens of thousands of dollars &#8211; it was her bank that finally rescued her from Olasemo, but, according to the article, that didn&#8217;t stop her because she so wanted this guy to be real;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The fraud was ended when the bank of Mrs Jorgensen stopped two further money transfers of \u00a340,000 and \u00a3150,000 getting through to Olasemo and contacted police.<\/p>\n<p>Despite discovering Morgan Travis was a lie dreamt up by a Nigerian man called Tosin Olasemo she continued an online relationship with him after telling her he had committed the fraud because he had borrowed money from Nigerian militants and now owed them money under pain of death.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Smith said: &#8216;Unfortunately she still felt an attachment to the defendant and stayed in contact for some time and sent him more money until a lady claiming to be the Danish wife of Olasemo contacted her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As a result of that she contacted police and he was arrested at his home in Cardiff.&#8217;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ladies contact us all of the time about these guys. My &#8220;rule of thumb&#8221; goes like this; if you&#8217;re asking me if he&#8217;s a phony, he probably is a phony. Don&#8217;t send money to someone you&#8217;ve never met face-to-face (don&#8217;t depend on Skype).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fellow pictured above is Tosin Femi Olasemo, a Nigerian who ran a dating scam that &hellip; <a title=\"Tosin Femi Olasemo, Nigerian scammer\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=60872\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Tosin Femi Olasemo, Nigerian scammer<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/60873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
