20 women to commit large-scale fraud in Canada.
According to a report by

the most prolific identity thieves ever encountered in recent times
after stealing the identities of over 20 women in the Toronto area in
the last two years.
Oguntoyinbo is also facing more than 50 fraud-related charges in Toronto
as well as nearby York, Peel and Halton regions, according to court

buy a Mercedes Benz and a BMW.
They also seized numerous forged drivers’ licences, social insurance
