## Resource

Six Nigerian men accused of orchestrating a $6 million online romance scam targeting over 100 American women are finally heading to the U.S. after being extradited from South Africa. Part of the notorious Black Axe syndicate, they used fake relationships and crypto schemes to bilk victims—many of them older or professional women—before vanishing with their money. Now, FBI and Secret Service agents have flown in to take custody as the men face wire fraud and money laundering charges, marking a major international crackdown on global cybercrime.
