On Tuesday, May 22, 2012, members of the Toronto Police Service Financial Crimes Unit Toronto Strategic Partnership assisted the Peterborough-Lakefield Community Police Service in arresting a man in relation to a fraud investigation.
It is alleged that:
– a man convinced a woman that a relative had left her a large sum of money that was being held offshore
– the woman paid for a series of certificates and fees she believed would result in her receiving the inheritance
– in reality, there never was an inheritance and the victim lost a total of $217,300
Ikechukwu Victor Ozumba, 32, of Mississauga, a.k.a. Andrew Morgan, was arrested in a Toronto hotel while allegedly attempting to meet with the victim to receive more money. It is further alleged that he was in possession of a suitcase filled with stacks of blank bills, flanked by real bills, to give the illusion of the sum of inheritance.
He is charged with:
1) Fraud Over ($5000)
2) Possession of a Forged Document
He was scheduled to appear in court at 2201 Finch Avenue West on Wednesday, May 23, 2012.
Police believe there may be other victims.
