In Nigeria there are colleges you can go to learn to be a sopisticated fraudster from cloning documents to cloning credit cards, getting mortgages, asylum, scaming money from women on net dating sites etc, etc.
Heres a few.
Mandela Foundation prize hoax
The scam: It's a variation of the well-aired lottery scam, but South Africans get taken in when they're supposedly contacted by the Nelson Mandela Foundation with news of a big foundation award. To collect, though, victims learn they must pay an "administrative fee" of about $1,000.
Agency warns of "share recovery" firms
The scam: Staying in Britain, that country's Financial Services Agency (FSA) issues a warning about "recovery firm" scams. In this trick, customers of a stockbroking firm that has gone bust receive a call offering to buy their stock at an attractive price or to put them in touch with a buyer.
In both cases, the callers claim to work for firms specializing in recovering invested cash that make their money through an upfront fee. Once the fee is paid, that's the last the victims ever hear of them.
In an unrelated case, investors in a British investment trust receive calls from another firm offering to buy their stock for 25 times current value as part of a hostile bid for the company.
If they want to take up the offer, victims must provide their personal financial details. In other words, it's an identity theft scam.
nternet aids mischief-makers
The scam: Using a legitimate Internet service, scammers send cell phone text messages from a fake originating number.
They are used to send spam SMS messages or, at least in one case reported by Nigeria's Sunday Sun newspaper, to cause domestic upset by sending a compromising message to a married woman supposedly from another woman's husband!
Students offered bogus college places
The scam: About 15 students in Nigeria receive letters offering them a place at a university in Liverpool, England.
They must pay an acceptance fee upfront but when they subsequently contact the college they discover their names are unknown there.
If there is a future, it will be Green.
FFS, do you even read before you post. She lied. The claims of a child were lies. The Justice Minister in Nigeria said she lied, that FGM is not condoned in Nigeria and was willing to testify to an Irish court in this matter. Does Nigeria just want this particular woman back for some reason we are unaware of?

Who mentioned skin colour? No-one except yourself. So shove your 'if you speak about immigration = your a racist' card up your PC arse.
The discussion here is talking about the abuse of the asylum system by one case that happens to be highlighted in today's news as being a crock of sh1t story.
As much as your PC bleeding heart denies that this particular individual could have lied all along, even in the face of evidence produced by a legal investigation, others here see the fraudster for what she is.
If your pissed off she lied, take it up with her. if you don't believe the evidence she lied, pay for another lawyer out of your own pocket to disprove the evidence.... don't expect my tax euros to pay for another day of upkeep and legal bills for this criminal or any other Asylum scammer.
