"NIGERIAN INDICTED FOR ALLEGED SCAMMING OF LAW FIRMS"

A Nigerian man has been extradited from Nigeria to the United States and indicted for alleged scamming of over $31,000,000.00 from over 80 law firms and lawyers in this country.  Ironically, the alleged crimes involved debt collection scams [and see Chapter 11, "Legal Consumer Tips and Secrets", by attorney Charles Jerome Ware (2011)].

The alleged victims included several prominent Pennsylvania law firms, an Alabama law firm, as well as a Canadian law firm.

The man and his associates also attempted without success to defraud an additional 300 lawyers and law firms out of over $100,000,000.00.
