A Nigerian national has been arrested in India for swindling Rs 17 lakhs from a woman by promising her a work visa to Canada.<\/p>\n

The arrested man identified as Moses, is a DJ residing in Bengaluru since 2014.<\/p>\n

A team led by Wayanad Cyber Police Station Inspector Shaju Joseph nabbed the accused from Bengaluru on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to officials, Moses used the personal details provided by the woman on a private website to commit the fraud.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last October, the woman provided her personal information while searching for a medical coding job.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After collecting her details from a website, the accused dropped emails and tried to contact the victim through WhatsApp by posing as a visa agent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He earned her trust after he showed proof of her details on an immigration site and the flight ticket he booked for her to Canada.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based on his assurances, she transferred Rs 17 lakhs to his account.<\/p>\n

But as Moses kept asking for more money, the girl grew suspicious and filed a complaint at the Wayanad Cyber Police Station.<\/p>\n

The police have retrieved Rs 6 lakh from the accused so far. They located Moses using his device’s IP address and tracing his online purchases.<\/p>\n

The DJ artist is known to have engaged in several online frauds over the years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moses conducted only a single DJ event in an entire month. He dedicated the rest of his time to his fraudulent activities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Officials have seized several devices in his possession.<\/p>\n
