Quote:She said, “It was June 10, and it told me to call the phone number listed. So I called them, and they told me to come to the bank.
“They investigated and put my account on freeze. They told me nobody can put money in and nobody can take money out.
“Someone reset passwords, reset security questions, reset my phone to a new phone number, created a new email address so I don't get notified my password changed.”
Police services across the Toronto area are still piecing together the extent of Oguntoyinbo's crimes.
Quote:"She definitely would be considered a professional fraudster, knows what she's doing and [is] quite prolific," York Regional Police Sgt. Andy Pattenden told CBC News. "She's really been all over the [Greater Toronto Area]."
