Valerie, Rosine and Clementine in their early 30s narrowly escaped lynching in the Ndogpassi neighbour in Douala III after one of their deals was unsuccessful.

The prompt intervention of elements of the gendarmerie accompanied them to the Nylon Brigade where they were later transferred to Ndogbong Brigade for further interrogation.

During their stay in the Nylon Brigade, they revealed their mode of operation saying they act as commercial agent, police inspector and a nurse to extort monies from people convincing their victims who are mostly women with fake stories.

At times, they fake their nationality and quote money to victims who have to bring it before getting the huge sums they are promised.

Since their head office is in Limbe (South West), they admitted that the Douala branch so far has registered seven victims from whom they have extorted between FCFA 190,000 and FCFA 5 million.

While the three young ladies are in police grips, their driver is on the run.
