Three fraudsters who defrauded American retirees out of millions of dollars have been arrested in the Dominican Republic and will stand trial in the United States.
Last week, three citizens of the Dominican Republic were extradited to the United States and appeared in federal court in Newark. They are accused of running the so-called “grandparent scam” in which they defrauded elderly Americans across the country, including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
The fraudsters ran the scheme from call centers in the Dominican Republic, using technology that made the calls appear to be from the US. They posed as children or grandchildren of the victims, claiming to have been in a car accident or arrested, and asking for financial assistance. After that, other members of the gang, posing as lawyers or police officers, convinced the victims to give thousands of dollars to help “relatives”.
According to Special Agent Bradley Parker of the Social Security Administration, the scheme took a significant emotional and financial toll on the elderly. The defendants face up to 20 years in prison on each count, a maximum fine of $250,000 on each wire fraud count and up to $500,000 on each money laundering conspiracy count.
Fraudsters who abuse the trust of the elderly cause significant losses to society. Federal law enforcement agencies continue to fight such crimes, protecting vulnerable sections of the population from financial fraudsters.
