Alfan contacted victims via the dating platform Singles Dating World and continued communication through email at alfan@nowhere.com . The scammer claims to be a 28-year-old from Lagos, Nigeria.

The typical scam pattern was followed: initial friendly and engaging conversations designed to build trust, followed by requests for money under various pretenses such as processing fees, travel expenses, or emergencies.

Communication spanned a short period (just two recorded conversations), but after money was sent or promised, the scammer became unresponsive.
