The Champagne Lifestyle Of UK Jailed Nigerian Fraudster, Frank Onyeachonam!!!

Only a Nigerian will live an extravagant life without evidence of any legitimate income. Fraudster, Frank Onyeachonam is now finding out that it does not work that way in the western world. This is an interesting story and my heart go out to the vulnerable folks who fell for this cheap scam.

I am still trying to figure out why I would believe that I won a lottery that I did not enter for, but I guess that's just me, some people will believe anything, which further leads me to believe that the victims were also fraudulent in nature...#JustSaying @#TruthBeTold

38 year old UK based Nigerian fraudster, Frank Onyeachonam whose love for champagne end him the nick-name, Fizzy was jailed over a week ago in the UK for eight years in prison after years of conning folks of their life's savings through bogus lottery scams.

Afterwards, the victims became hooked on the scam and made extra payments, which forced several of his victims to come out of retirement in other to pay back high-interest loan they had taken out to pay him.
