PLEASE ,HELP ME .IN THREE DAYS I WAS ATTAC BY THE IMORAL SCAMMERS WICH USED IMAGE OF THEIR CHILDRENS OR OTHER FAMILYES CHILDRENS. WHAT ARE DOING THE POLICE OFFITERS TO THIS MISERABLE PEOPLE ?
The photographs sent by scammers are stolen photographs, which the scammer has downloaded from an innocent person's website or social profile. Sometimes the scammer may download modelling photographs instead, and send these. The scammer pretends that the photos are pictures of his own family, but this is not true.
The majority of au pair scammers are actually living in Nigeria, and it is usually impossible to get them arrested. They use fake names and email accounts set up with false information, and they often use anonymous internet cafés as well, so it is unlikely that anyone can discover their true identities. But even if we could find out who they really are, the police in our own countries are unlikely to have the resources to make an international arrest; and the police in Nigeria are mostly focused upon other crimes there, and unlikely to give this priority at this time.
Therefore, the best thing that we can do is publicise the scammers and warn others about them. We can't expect to get them arrested - but we can do our best to prevent them from stealing money from people, by telling others about them, and posting their email addresses and other information.
