Nigerian criminals operating from hideouts in Africa’s most populous black nation have tremendously brought opprobrium to Nigeria and further shatter the good image Nigerian Government hold tenaciously in the face of the International community by engaging in cloning, creating fake cashier’s checks and money orders which are used to defraud genuine American banks to the tune of $3million in various tranches.

According to the United States Department of Justice, a Springfield born 56years old American woman, Lisa Kaye Barwick-Majeski was lured into becoming their ring leader and recruiter in America. United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Lisa was sentenced in federal court few days ago for leading a Nigerian fraud scheme in which thousands of victims across the country were tricked into cashing up to $3 million in counterfeit money orders and cashier’s checks.

Lisa was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Roseann Ketchmark to 12 years in federal prison without parole. The court also ordered Barwick-Majeski to pay $49,131 in restitution to her victims and a money judgment to the government of $1,485,301, representing the proceeds of the conspiracy. Barwick-Majeski was taken into custody immediately at the conclusion of today’s hearing to begin serving her sentence.

Criminal Minds Method of Operation

US Department of Justice detailed these criminal gangs mode of operation: “Barwick-Majeski and her co-conspirators dispatched counterfeit postal money orders and bogus cashier checks to thousands of victims throughout the United States. These false money orders and cashier checks were deposited in victims’ bank accounts after the victims were duped into believing they were paid participants as part of a ‘secret shopper’ exercise designed for them to evaluate Wal-Mart and various money wire outlets. The victims were instructed to keep approximately $200 or more of the less than $2,000 counterfeited postal money order or bogus cashier’s check, and immediately wire the remaining money to Barwick-Majeski and her co-conspirators.

After a few days, the counterfeited money order or bogus cashier’s check would be returned against the victims’ account as not negotiable. The victims would then be obligated to pay their banks or their financial institutions for most of the money they wired to Barwick-Majeski and others. Barwick-Majeski and her co-conspirators shared most of their proceeds with a group of Nigerians that were responsible for supplying Barwick-Majeski with fraudulent postal money orders and cashier’s checks.
