WEB ONLY -- Police arrested a man last week they said tried to scam a Montgomery County man out of thousands.

Police arrested Maxwell Gbogboade Thursday in Philadelphia.

According to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman, Hatfield Township Police were contacted after a 64-year-old man attempted to withdraw $46,000 in cash from his account to give to a woman he said he met through an online dating service.

The man told police that the woman said her name was Mary Douglas and they have been exchanging e-mails, and Douglas had sent him several different pictures of herself.

She told the man that she was traveling to Africa to star in a movie, and needed the money to cover expenses. She told the man she would move to the United States and be with him after she was finished shooting the movie.

Ferman said the man was also in contact with a person claiming to be Douglas' manager, Muraina Yaya. Yaya was facilitating the collection of the $46,000 they requested. Yaya told the man that he should give the money to a courier, Soloh Batuya, who was flying into Philadelphia International Airport from New York.

Police reviewed the e-mails and pictures are discovered that the photographs sent by Douglas were actually of several different women, and the IP addresses the e-mails were coming from was in Nigeria.

The man told police that he was supposed to be meeting the courier in the lobby of the Philadelphia Airport Marriot hotel, and he was given a physical description of Batuya.

Working with the Philadelphia Police Department, they arrested the courier at the airport. It was determined that the man's actual name was Maxwell Gbogboade.

Gbogboade told police he traveled to the airport from Maryland to get the money so he could buy a car and send it back to Africa.

Gbogboade is charged with two counts of theft by deception. His next court date is later this week.
