PANews reported on December 17 that according to Reuters, Nigeria's anti-corruption agency raided a seven-story building in Lagos and arrested 792 suspects, including 148 Chinese and 40 Filipinos, involved in cryptocurrency and romance scams. The building was used as a call center, mainly targeting victims in the Americas and Europe, using social media and communication platforms to conduct online deception, disguised as fake cryptocurrency investment projects to defraud. Law enforcement officers seized computers, mobile phones and vehicles on the spot. The case may involve transnational organized crime, and related investigations are still ongoing.
