A romance fraudster who conned a woman out of thousands of pounds and targeted hundreds more has been convicted after a National Crime Agency investigation.
Osagie Aigbonohan, 40, originally from Lagos, Nigeria, used a number of aliases to contact women online through dating and social media sites, and in one case cheated a woman out of nearly £10,000.
Using the name ‘Tony Eden’, Aigbonohan struck up a ten-month relationship with the victim last year via a dating site and persuaded her to lend him money to buy machinery for his business overseas.
The victim made nine transfers into various accounts held under fake identities, with the money eventually making its way into a personal account held by Aigbonohan, which he used for everyday spending.
Data from Aigbonohan’s phone showed that he also received money from at least eight other victims and had been in contact with over 670 people in total.
One of the women targeted was terminally ill, with Aigbonohan continuing to pursue her even after she had passed away.
Officers from the NCA arrested Aigbonohan in July 2021. He was found to be carrying a false driver’s license at the time and had no legal right to be in the UK, having overstayed his visa from two years ago.
Records showed that despite living in Abbey Wood, London, he’d spent victim’s money in locations across London, Manchester and Glasgow.
Following his arrest officer’s conducted a search of his home address where they found footwear he’d purchased with store vouchers that could be linked back to one of the victims.
Aigbonohan appeared before Southwark Crown Court yesterday (3 December), where he pleaded guilty to charges relating to fraud and money laundering.
He will remain in custody until he is sentenced at the same court on 14 January 2022.
Dominic Mugan, NCA Operations Manager, said: “Romance fraud is a particularly cruel crime that impacts victims both emotionally and financially, with victims often feeling like they’re the ones to blame.
“Aigbonohan showed total disregard for the victims in this case and was happy to commit further fraud by moving money between various fraudulently held accounts.
“It’s possible that he contacted more people than we know about, if you think you may have been a victim, or may be a victim in a similar case, we would urge you to report the details to Action Fraud.”
The NCA advise anyone using dating websites to avoid giving away too many personal details when speaking online to someone you’ve never met in person, as it can lead to your identity being stolen. You should stay on the site’s messaging service until you meet in person; don’t be tempted to switch to other platforms that offer less protection. And most importantly, no matter how long you’ve been speaking to someone online and how much you trust them, if you haven’t met them in person do not send them any money.
If you think you have been a victim of fraud you should report it to ActionFraud.police.uk and follow the advice of the Take Five to Stop Fraud campaign, which offers straight-forward and impartial advice to help people spot scams and protect themselves against fraud.

A man who murdered a single mother he met on a dating website has been jailed for life.
Miles Donnelly admitted strangling Usha Patel, 44, at the home she shared with her five-year-old son in Cricklewood, north-west London, in October 2015.
The 35-year-old, from Paddington, then fled to a west London house where he attacked another woman when she refused his advances.
At the Old Bailey he was told he would serve a minimum of 23 years.
The court heard he and Ms Patel had met on the dating site seven months before she invited him back to her home on 7 October.
After putting her son to bed, the pair stripped naked and Donnelly attacked her in a 'drunken rage'.
Ms Patel was found on the sofa the following morning by her father who was due to to take her son to school.
When he arrived at the flat, the little boy told his grandfather: 'Mummy's not well'.
The single mother had been stabbed 13 times with a large bread knife, punched in the head several times, and strangled.
The prosecution said the five-year-old still has nightmares and keeps asking his family when his mother will return.
The Old Bailey heard that after the killing, Donnelly hid from police at the home of Rosie Ferrigno, 43, abandoning his underpants, socks, T-shirt, hoodie and keys in Ms Patel's flat.
He spent 36 hours in the property and while there, told Ms Ferrigno he was sexually frustrated and made advances towards her.

Prosecutor Simon Denison QC told the court the pair had swapped texts saying 'I love you' on the day of the murder.
But he said Donnelly would have known he was a 'significant and serious danger to women' who was 'driven by compulsions to drink, take cocaine and have sex'.
During sentencing, Judge Rebecca Poulet QC said Donnelly had murdered Ms Patel in 'a particularly ferocious and violent attack'.

She said the case was 'a stark warning to anyone who plans to meet anyone after limited internet contact' and warned people not to invite a stranger into their home.
The judge called Ms Patel 'an extremely vulnerable woman' who was 'clearly anxious to meet a new partner'.
