The United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has offered a
paltry $1000 reward to whistleblowers who can offer information to
arrest a Nigerian New Yorker, 32 year-old Kelechi Declan James.
The agency has declared Kelechi wanted for allegedly scamming victims of more than $5 million.
A statement on FBI website reads: “FBI agents are looking for the
public’s assistance in locating Kelechi Declan James. He has federal
criminal charges against him from an investigation by FBI New York’s
Cyber Crime Task Force.”
“James is known to frequent the Brooklyn neighbourhoods of East New
York (Crescent Street and Loring Avenue; Vermont Street between Blake
Avenue and Dumont Avenue), Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant (MacDougal
and Hull Streets), Crown Heights (Park Place and Utica Avenue), Flatbush
(E 29th and Avenue D), and East Flatbush (East 51st and Winthrop
Street). The FBI is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads
to his arrest.
“James is 32 years old, 6’0” tall, and approximately 175 pounds. He
is a Nigerian national, has brown eyes and black hair, and may have a
beard. Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of James is urged
to contact law enforcement immediately. The FBI can be reached 24 hours a
day at (212) 384-1000. He is not considered to be violent in nature.
“As alleged in a complaint sworn out of the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York, James, along with four other
co-conspirators, ran a business e-mail compromise scheme that resulted
victim losses of more than $5 million for their victims.
“As part of scheme, James and his co-conspirators defrauded victims
across the U.S. by tricking them into wiring money to bank accounts the
victims believed were owned by family members, friends, or business
associates. They did this in two ways: by overtaking an e-mail account
of an individual trusted by the victim and then requesting money be
wired to a bank account; or by developing a relationship of trust with
victim like an Internet romance and then asking the victim to wire
money.
“As soon as the money was wired, it would be moved from one account
to another, and the funds would be withdrawn. James’s role in this
scheme was to withdraw the money from bank accounts.”
