3 Nigerian men questioned over US$1m e-mail swindle

TWO Nigerian men have been arrested and a third detained on suspicion of operating an e-mail scam that cheated foreign firms out of US$1 million.

The three are accused of hacking the e-mail accounts of several Shanghai-based companies and then using them to cheat the firms’ suppliers into making spurious payments. These were allegedly processed through bank accounts set up by the gang to launder the funds, police said yesterday.
