Shreveport, Louisiana – The Shreveport Police Department is actively investigating multiple fraud cases, including home improvement scams, romance schemes, and internet fraud, that have reportedly led to significant financial losses for victims.
The police are looking for Kameron Jackson, who is accused of home improvement fraud. Jackson was contracted for a residential construction project but failed to complete the work after receiving a total payment of $47,700. The only progress made on the project was demolition, and since May 30, Jackson has not returned to the job site. Authorities urge anyone with information on Jackson’s whereabouts to reach out to the Shreveport Police at 318-673-7300 or Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373.
In a separate case, Kenneth G. Akpieyi, a 44-year-old from Georgia, was convicted for his involvement in a romance scam that defrauded women out of millions of dollars. The conviction took place on July 25 in a Louisiana federal court, where the jury found him guilty on all counts, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and mail fraud. Evidence presented in court showed losses exceeding $3 million reported by eight victims of the scam. Akpieyi and his accomplices created false identities on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, pretending to be romantic partners to gain the victims’ trust before soliciting money for fraudulent reasons. Using the alias “Phillip Anderson,” Akpieyi funneled money through his business, KGA Autobrokers, LLC, to obscure additional bank accounts. His sentencing is scheduled for November 5, 2025, with maximum penalties of up to 20 years in prison and substantial fines per count.
The Shreveport Police are also on the lookout for Matthew Allen, who is suspected of using a business credit card to spend $7,000 on adult content subscription services including OnlyFans and Fansly. The total amount linked to Allen’s fraudulent activities is reported to be $49,000. Allen is currently wanted for theft and access device fraud, and the police request information regarding his location to be reported at 318-673-7300 or Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373.
Additionally, two women are believed to have used someone else’s photo to attract men through smartphone applications, ultimately robbing them. Furthermore, in a related incident, a woman was recently arrested in Shreveport for damaging a rival’s vehicle, which included acts of pouring chocolate syrup on it and slashing its tires.
These cases highlight the ongoing concern of fraud and scams in the Shreveport area, emphasizing the importance for residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the authorities.
