CAUTION
From approximately February of 2007 until October of 2012, London Akpanoko allegedly
participated in an advance fee fraud scam that targeted dozens of individuals in the United States
and elsewhere as part of an African Criminal Enterprise. The victims received e-mails and phone
calls informing them of a sum of money that they would receive. The reasons for receiving the money
varied between victims, but the most common reasons were an inheritance or some type of investment
scheme. In order to receive the money, the victims were informed that they had to pay a fee. The
fees were sent to numerous bank accounts and individuals located in the United States and overseas.
The investigation has identified approximately forty victims and approximately five million dollars
in loss. Akpanoko was allegedly an active participant in tricking victims to provide money as part
of the scam. On January 8, 2013, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Akpanoko in the United States
District Court, District of New Jersey, Newark, New Jersey, after he was charged with conspiracy to
commit wire fraud.
