A man from Nigeria, Africa, has been charged with fraud for allegedly posing as a soldier from the United States and then using the internet to scam a woman out of more than AU$300,000 ($215,000).

The 32-year-old man, Cosmos Emeh, formed an online romantic relationship with his victim, a 34-year-old woman, after meeting her in October 2018 on social media.
