The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Faheem Akram, a Pakistani national accused in a counterfeit-postage case.
The agency’s wanted notice was updated October 1. It identifies Akram as the operator of LabelsBank.com and asks for help locating him.
Prosecutors in South Florida announced the indictment September 28. They identify Akram as 33 and from Khanewal, Pakistan, and allege that the website sold more than 5.1 million counterfeit shipping labels to over 5,200 customers, causing more than $126 million in losses to the U.S. Postal Service.
According to the Justice Department, labels were typically sold for $2 regardless of a parcel’s weight, size or destination. Authorities obtained a court order to seize the domain and shut down the site.
Akram faces conspiracy, counterfeit-postage and wire-fraud charges. The indictment contains allegations; he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The reward is conditional on information leading to both arrest and conviction. Postal inspectors warn the public not to attempt to apprehend him. Tips can be provided at 1-877-876-2455 by saying “Law Enforcement” and referencing case 4572266.
