US Offers Rewards for Romanian Pair in Online Scam

By AFP on November 18, 2014

WASHINGTON - US officials on Tuesday added suspected online fraudster Nicolae Popescu to its most-wanted list of cyber criminals and put a price on his head.

A reward of as much as a million dollars is being offered for information that results in the capture or conviction of Popescu, who investigators believe may be in Europe.

A bounty capped at $750,000 is also being offered for information leading to the arrest and successful criminal prosecution of Dumitru Daniel Bosogioiu, a fellow Romanian identified as a co-conspirator in the cyber fraud with Popescu.

That fraud bilked millions of dollars from shoppers by posting fake listings for high-value items such as cars and boats online, according to the US Department of State.

Online shoppers were directed to wire payments to bank accounts opened with bogus identification, then the money was transferred to leaders overseeing the scam from Romania, investigators said in a news release.

Popescu and Bosogioiu are wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and passport fraud.

The FBI added Popescu to its Cyber's Most Wanted list which was started in 2013 to spotlight "egregious cyber crimes committed on a global scale."

"... on charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud" deci Nicolae Popescu este acuzat si de conspiratii?

In acel .pdf apar urmatoarele observatii:

"Observa?ii: Popescu vorbe?te limba român?. Este posibil s? fi plecat în Europa."

Serios? eu credeam ca este fluent in ebraica si japoneza. Romania este desigur in Africa centrala iar acum este posibil ca Nicu sa fi plecat in Europa.

"...f?r? ca, de fapt, aceste vehicule ?i obiecte s? existe în realitate."

Deci practic a luat poze de pe google sau poate le-a desenat chiar el cu manutele lui.

"Ace?ti infractori au deschis conturi bancare în Statele Unite

ale Americii sub identit??i false, folosind pa?apoarte false create în Europa de c?tre al?i

infractori."

Deci si pasapoartele au fost create de infractori? Probabil avea vreunul o imprimanta ce putea scrie pe hartie laminata.

Nu are de ce sa isi faca griji. In locul lui as furniza informatii false pentru a lua si acel milion de dolari(mai mult ca sigur ca barbatii in negru nu se asteapta la asta).

Cred ca se refera cine da informatii care duc la capturarea lor, daca tu le zici sa mearga nustiu unde si ei nu il gasesc acolo nu te astepta sa iti dea ceva :))
