More than three years after using email scam to steal about $850,000 in bond construction money that was supposed to go to contractor Adolfson and Peterson Construction, the police have arrested Sherifdeen Mogaji, 39.

Investigators in 2017 believed he had fled to Nigeria, but he was arrested on February 21, 2020 and booked into the Boulder County Jail in Texas, on suspicion of theft of $100,000 to $999,000, computer crime and forgery.

The arrest affidavit states that Mogaji used a New York driver’s license number to open a TD Bank account where the funds were deposited. He allegedly spent around $371,000 in a few months and wired money to himself in Nigeria.

He also spent $31,000 on student loan payments, according to the documents. The district first realized the scam when the contractor, Adolfson and Peterson Construction, asked for payments that already had been made.

The district said a sophisticated email that included a forged signature was sent to its office asking for a form to change routing information. The district then filled out the form and made four payments to a fraudulent account, which totaled $852,733.83.

Authorities were able to recover about $500,000 by freezing the fraudulent account. The district said insurance covered another $200,000, leaving the district with $172,000 stolen.

Catabolism:
The Billions(in Naira) he stole didn't even change him.

850kUSD is 311,100,000 NGN. It is not up to half a billion naira.

I do not support crime though..

To all those in this line of business, you can run but you can't hide. Even after many years, you will still pay for your atrocities especially those of you calling people to update accounts and emptying the account of unsuspecting bank customers in the process. Enjoy it while it lasts. Crime does not pay at all.

Na this kin people dey rubbish our image.

Hope this isn't EgunMogaji....
