Latest cast of characters.
American Lori-Etta Taub was hoodwinked to the tune of $3 million
(56 million TL) by a Nigerian in Istanbul who claimed to be U.S.
citizen "Alex Quin", and his three Turkish partners-in-crime. But
Taub came all the way to Istanbul, filed a criminal complaint against
the gang and all its members were arrested by police.
Taub, who is the TV producer of such shows as "American Crime",
was enticed by "Quin"'s promise of big returns on investments.
"Quin" turned out to be Nigerian Cyril Amechi Enebeli and his
"associates" Turks Nuray Bakar, Recep Akçay and Doğukan Delibaş.
After luring her over social media, the gang got to Taub to send them
a few thousand dollars, promising high-interest returns.
After receiving the promised increased return, Taub sent a few
thousand more dollars and was similarly rewarded. Having earned
her trust, the gang asked her for $3 million, which Taub sent to them
but heard nothing in response. She tried to contact the gang but
without success so she filed a criminal complaint with the Istanbul
public prosecutor.
Istanbul police tracked down Enebeli, Bakar, Akçay and Delibaş,
taking them all into custody. A search of their home yielded cash
and a lot of "digital material". Thier bank accounts were blocked,
as well.
Taub's TV shows like "American Crime" have drawn viewers in
Turkey. Her other TV shows are "All American", "Lori Etta Taub's
Runaway", "The Uninvited", "The Glades", "Saving Grace", "Huff",
"Night Stalker" and "Tilt".
"Turkish Crime" version waiting in the wings.
