Fake Deeper life Pastor Nabbed for 419 in New York By FBI
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed reports linking New York-based pastor and lawyer, Eric Abakporo, to 'despicable' fraud: the theft of the life savings of an elderly African-American woman through deceit and lies.
The story behind the current FBI charges began in March 2006 when Abakporo cultivated a relationship with the victim who owned a Harlem apartment building. He offered to help her collect rents but actually, he pocketed them.
The two alleged con artists then persuaded the woman to sell her property for $3.1 million, giving her multiple fake and fraudulent checks which they later took back, promising to give her a'private mortgage' in the property. After weaving a web of lies around their actions, the two swindlers brought their act to a local bank, claiming they owned the building ?free and clear?. For this lie, they obtained a $1.8 million mortgage which they failed to repay.Ultimately they obtained all of the elderly woman's assets and $1.8 million by defrauding the bank.Charges against the two include multiple bank and wire fraud which together carry a maximum prison term of 100 years behind bars.
Abakporo is currently cooling his heels in detention until payment of a $1 million bond secured by an interest in property and co-signed by three people and secured by two properties.
