A Slidell man posing as a Nigerian Prince scammed people out of thousands of dollars according to police.
Michael Neu, 67, was arrested by Slidell Police financial crimes investigators for 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering.
Police say Neu was the “middle man” to an e-mail scam where someone posing as a Nigerian prince claims the victim is the beneficiary in a will and set to inherit millions of dollars. They then ask for your personal financial information to prove that you are the beneficiary and to speed up the transfer of your alleged inheritance.
Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
