If it sounds too good to be true… 💸

One of the most devastating types of mail fraud is a romance scam, which steals money from victims while exploiting their desire to find love. Although romance scams have been around for centuries, they have become more common due to the rise of online dating and social media, which allows scammers to hide their true identities.

Isidore Iwaugwa, a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal in Washington D.C., carried out many romance scams that primarily targeted older victims between 2015 and 2021. Using a variety of fake identities, Iwaugwa contacted victims through social media and dating sites, cultivated online relationships, and convinced them to send large amounts of money to him.

In almost every case, Iwaugwa claimed to be a deployed member of the U.S. Military who was facing financial hardship. Victims were instructed to wire money to one of the 30 bank accounts that he controlled. Postal Inspectors found that Iwaugwa had received more than 200 wire transfers totaling more than $1.4 million from 119 victims.

Iwaugwa was arrested on August 10, 2022. He later pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to commit money laundering, and he was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $1.3 million in restitution.
