\nFederal prosecutors say that Rubbin Sarpong on March 2, 2017, posted a photograph of himself on social media accounts, holding a large stack of cash to his ear like a mobile phone, with a caption reading “WakeUp with 100K… OneTime. Making A phone Call To Let My Bank Know Am Coming;” (U.S District Court for the District of New Jersey)<\/p>\n
Another fraud, scamming lonely women for cash. Adding insult to injury, he posed as a Navy Petty Officer. At least this little gang of posers have been arrested on Federal charges <\/p>\n
Rubbin Sarpong never was a U.S. Navy petty officer stationed in Canada or Syria who needed a little cash to come home to his loved one.<\/p>\n
Although one victim sent him $50,000 in a series of wire transfers dating back to early 2016, according to court documents, Sarpong really was laundering her money, stashing it in bank accounts or doling it out to co-conspirators on two continents to further what authorities say is an ongoing swindle that preys on lonely hearts with a crush on military men.<\/p>\n
Sarpong\u2019s alleged scheme was outlined in a 27-page federal indictment unsealed Wednesday in Camden, New Jersey. It paints him as a grifter living in the south New Jersey town of Millville, with tentacles that reached out to at least 30 victims and three co-conspirators in the U.S. and the West African nation of Ghana.<\/p>\n
Federal court records reveal that Sarpong was arrested Wednesday, a day after being charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.<\/p>\n
A probable cause affidavit filed by Special Agent Dean J. DiPietro, a member of the FBI\u2019s White Collar Crime squad in Atlantic City, estimates that Sarpong and the other three people netted at least $2.1 million in the scams over the past 3 \u00bd years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
