As previously reported, a Ghanaian based in the United States scammed a South Korean steel company of $375,000 by claiming he worked with a Japanese talent agency that could help the company book a concert with musician Pharrell Williams, FBI agents in Pennsylvania said.
Sigismond Segbefia, of Silver Spring, Maryland, faces multiple charges, including wire fraud, bank fraud and identity theft. He is also accused of stealing the identity of a western Pennsylvania postal worker and using it to bilk more than $445,000 from women he met on dating sites.
At least one woman lost $185,000 from December 2013 to August 2014 in the scam, the FBI said. Segbefia convinced her that he owned a medical equipment business and kept running into financial difficulties while trying to ship some of the devices to England, the FBI said. Segbefia, a native of Ghana who is in the U.S. legally, was arrested by federal customs officials at Kennedy Airport in New York. He was released on bond but ordered to be confined to his home until his appearance before a federal magistrate on May 14 in Pittsburgh.
The 28-year-old Segbefia used a company he incorporated in Maryland in October 2013 called Eastern Stars LLC to make his various claims seem legitimate, the FBI said.
Thanks to some informants, I have photos of Segbefia who is also known as Big Sig. Check out some of the cars he has been flaunting on social media.
