A reformed Nigerian fraudster has revealed how he posed as a US soldier to defraud a lonely older woman out of £17,000 - but she later "adopted him like a son".
Chris Bamibeli is now on the straight-and-narrow after trading in his VPN relocation apps to work in a bakery in Ekiti - one of Nigeria's poorest states.
The self-taught fraudster's start in the world of relationship scams came after starting university in 2016, when he found himself with just four pieces of clothing, and no money to buy more.
