South African police have alleged that six Nigerian nationals, suspected of involvement in an organised criminal network that defrauded American women of more than $6 million through online romance scams, are to be extradited to the United States on Friday.

南非警方宣称,六名尼日利亚籍人士涉嫌参与一个组织化犯罪网络,通过在线恋爱诈骗手段,从美国女性处骗取逾600万美元,上述人员将于周五被引渡至美国。

Interpol says the network forms part of a criminal syndicate that, through such means as romance scams, cryptocurrency fraud, and investment fraud, is responsible for a substantial share of online financial fraud worldwide.
