Police are seeking a Canadian romance scammer for allegedly defrauding victims across Canada of $275,000. The 30-year-old man, identified as Chukwuka Emmanuel Williams, is wanted for 23 offences, including 10 counts of fraud over $5,000.

The alleged scam targeted 11 victims from Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and Saskatchewan between June 2020 and September 2021. The suspect used tactics common in romance scams: sending random friend requests on social media; claiming to be a military member stationed overseas; developing a relationship with victims; and, requesting financial help for transitioning home from deployment.
