In November 2023 the Barnstable Police became aware of a “business email compromise” that targeted a company an Osterville resident was conducting business with. The victim was instructed, via a compromised email, to redirect a $100,000 payment. After the transfer of $100,000 to the fraudulent account the victim was notified by the company of the scam. A Barnstable Detective assigned to the USSS as a Task Force Officer, was able to trace the transaction to a bank in New York as well as to Allah. Based on the investigation Allah was indicted by the Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office on Larceny Over $1,200 charges in Barnstable Superior Court. An arrest warrant was issued and Allah was taken into custody in Troy, New York with the assistance from the Massachusetts State Police VFAS Unit and the United States Marshals Service.
