Nigerian Female Fraudster Wanted In US

Nigerian Female Fraudster Wanted In US

American police are now in a fix over the real identity of the most wanted Nigerian female fraudster.
Authorities said the female fraudster, who at a time was known as Heather Uboh had been involved in several credit card and passport fraud, theft and other crimes in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Georgia, Colorado and Texas.
She was also said to have taken more than $1million from different operations but has remained evasive using 20 different identities.
Authorities believe Heather Uboh may have had help to pull off her elaborate identity schemes.
Police know very little about Heather Uboh, but a lot about her alleged crimes.
The Nigerian has apparently committed credit card and passport fraud, larceny, identity theft and other crimes in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Georgia, Colorado and Texas, scamming banks, brokerage houses and individual citizens.
Her estimated take was said to be more than $1 million.
But because she uses so many aliases -- including Heather Cole, Nwaobi Igweh, Lindsey Scruggs, Adessa Hines and Lana Miller -- she's managed to remain evasive.
"Because of all her names and Social Security numbers, we don't really know who she is," concedes Deputy U.S. Marshal Craig Cain.
Reports said Heather Uboh has allegedly used over 20 different identities.
When police in Troy, Mich. first encountered the suspect in 1996, they claim that she'd been using fraudulent New Jersey driver's licenses to identify herself as she shuttled from bank to bank, receiving cash advances on the credit cards she presented.
