A resident of the United States found himself guilty of organizing a scheme of online canry, during which he earned $ 1 million by deceiving victims, processing money through various bank accounts that he controlled. 43-year-old Mark Aroma Oko found his guilt in the US Federal District Court. Now he faces up to 30 years in prison and, perhaps, he will have to pay a fine of $ 2 million
According to the US Ministry of Justice, Oko conducted “Romance Scams” and other online canvases aimed at deceiving single women or elderly people and forcing them to transfer money to the accounts of the attacker. Oko opened several bank accounts for other people’s names using fake passports. Then OKOO deduced income with separate amounts up to $ 10,000, since the amounts of over $ 10,000 are checked by banks for trustworthy.
It was previously reported that in 2022 a resident of the United States was sentenced to 25 years for a series of crimes using dating sites and online canry with the aim of theft of more than $ 9.5 million for companies and private individuals. 13 victims of “romantic fraud” talked with men on dating sites for several months, never meeting personally.
