A Nigerian national has pleaded guilty to running a transnational inheritance fraud scheme that defrauded many elderly and vulnerable people in the United States, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a July 3 statement.
Ehis Lawrence Akhimie, 41, and his co-conspirators allegedly engaged in a scheme in which they sent personalized letters to elderly Americans, enticing them with the promise of receiving nonexistent inheritances.
