New Jersey Grandparents Targeted in Elaborate Fraud Scheme

In New Jersey, the U.S. attorney has charged 16 people with scamming hundreds of senior citizens out of millions of dollars. The charges against the defendants include mail and wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and money laundering. It is alleged that the defendants impersonated the grandchildren or other family members of their victims, claiming to need money immediately because of a car accident and arrest. Then, other participants in the fraud would impersonate police officers, lawyers, or court officials to convince the victims to provide money to help their loved ones.

Federal prosecutors claim couriers would arrive at the homes of the elderly victims to pick up the funds and then send the money offshore to the Dominican Republic.
