MANHATTAN (CN) - A Nigerian man has been arrested and charged in an ultimate bank fraud scheme, in which he persuaded Citibank to wire him $27 million from the National Bank of Ethiopia, federal prosecutors said. After arranging the scam from Singapore, Paul Gabriel Amos, 37, was arrested on Jan. 15 while entering the United States, according to the indictment.
Amos and unnamed co-conspirators are accused of sending a raft of phony bank documents to Citibank, including callback numbers, with signatures that "appeared to match the signatures of NBE officials in Citibank's records," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement. Amos then allegedly instructed Citibank to make two dozen wire transfers, of more than $27 million, to accounts in seven countries.
