Six Nigerian nationals arrested in Cape Town in 2021 will be extradited to the United States on Friday over alleged online romance scams targeting more than 100 American women and causing losses exceeding $6 million. South African police say the men are linked to Black Axe, a criminal network that Interpol associates with cyber-enabled financial fraud, including romance, cryptocurrency and investment scams. They will be handed to the FBI and the United States Secret Service at Cape Town International Airport before facing wire-fraud and money-laundering charges. The case comes less than two years after a prominent Black Axe leader was extradited to the U.S. on internet-scam and money-laundering allegations. A recent Interpol operation led to 58 arrests and identified 263 suspects, while a related South African raid resulted in 39 arrests, $2.67 million seized and more than 250 bank accounts frozen. The Federal Trade Commission says more than 64,000 Americans lost over $1 billion to romance scams in 2023.
