This is the story of three men who were sentenced for stealing $750K from a Kentucky woman in a military dating scam.

Pulling off the U.S. military dating scam

Using fraud and deceit, Thomas D. Inkoom of Newark, Kahad A. Wuupini of Auburn and Baaki Abdul Majeed of Tacoma used promises of love and romance to entice a Kentucky woman into an online dating scam that would see her lose over $750,000 of her money. The scam involved often persuading her to send money, personal and financial information, and items of value to a man she believed was an Army sergeant named James Nehmer.

After getting cashier’s checks, personal checks and cash from the victim, the trio laundered the money from Washington state and New Jersey to Ghana. They purchased cars, shipped them to Ghana and then obtained cashier’s checks and wired money to each other as well as other unnamed individuals in both countries, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Eastern Kentucky.
