We study Schr\"odinger operators $H=-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\Omega)$ where $\Omega$ is $\mathbb R^d$ or the half-space $\mathbb R_+^d$, subject to (real) Robin boundary conditions in the latter case. For $p>d$ we construct a non-real potential $V\in L^p(\Omega)\cap L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ that decays at infinity so that $H$ has infinitely many non-real eigenvalues accumulating at every point of the essential spectrum $\sigma_{\rm ess}(H)=[0,\infty)$. This demonstrates that the Lieb-Thirring inequalities for selfadjoint Schr\"odinger operators are no longer true in the non-selfadjoint case.
