The US Department of Justice announced the sentence after he pleaded guilty in November 2025 to charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud.
Court records show that Nnebocha worked with a group of accomplices to run this scheme for more than seven years.
They targeted vulnerable people, mostly older Americans, by sending fake letters and emails.
These messages claimed the victims had a big inheritance coming from a dead relative in Spain, but they needed to pay "fees" or taxes first to get the money.
In reality, no inheritance existed.
The scammers collected payments through wire transfers, gift cards, and other methods.
In total, the group cheated more than 400 victims out of over $6 million.
Nnebocha was arrested in Poland in April 2025, extradited to the US in September 2025, and sentenced in the Southern District of Florida.
He now faces three years of supervised release after prison, plus the order to pay back the victims.
