💨 Abstract

warnings from law enforcement, British teenagers are being recruited by the Nigerian gang Black Axe. The gang exploits indebted students and professionals, using them as 'money mules' for fraudulent activities. Initiation involves brutal ceremonies, and the gang is linked to extensive cyberfraud worldwide. Black Axe uses social media like Snapchat to recruit, making it challenging to trace. In the UK and Ireland, many are prosecuted and more than 300 linked accounts are frozen.
