Described as one of the most prolific identity thieves ever encountered by the York Regional Police, 26-year-old Deborah Oguntoyinbo is currently being investigated in Canada for stealing the identities of over 20 women in the Toronto area in the last two years, according to a report by CBC News.

Oguntoyinbo, who said she’s an actress, is also facing more than 50 fraud-related charges in Toronto as well as nearby York, Peel and Halton regions.
York Region Police allege that Oguntoyinbo tried to rent the condo using the name Natalia Bozic and a forged certified cheque. Police in Halton, further west, have accused her of stealing the identities of 11 people.

Theyalso seized numerous forged drivers’ licences, social insurance numbers and passports in the names of other people from her.
