Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that an oyinbo man who had a master's degree in homeland security said he helped one of his followers, who a Yahoo boy (fraudster) wanted to scam.

To track the person down, the man (@youthpastorryan) sent an email saying he was to give the person US government money. The supposed scammer asked the man to pay through Bitcoin or Apple gift card.
