$2m call centre fraud: Indian-origin man jailed in US; duped senior citizens as 'money mule'
An Indian-origin man was sentenced to six years and three months imprisonment in a fraud scheme targeting senior citizens.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Court records reveal that between October and December 2023, Patel participated in a fraudulent operation targeting elderly individuals. The perpetrators, operating from overseas call centres, falsely presented themselves as US treasury department officials. They deceived victims by either claiming there were arrest warrants that required payment for clearance or persuading them to hand over money and gold for safekeeping, US attorney office said in a statement. In his role as a money mule, Patel travelled from New Jersey to collect money and gold from elderly victims across the eastern United States, including the Middle District of Florida.

His total involvement in the scheme resulted in laundering $1,791,301. Patel pleaded guilty on December 23, 2024. "Preying on vulnerable, unsuspecting elderly victims to rob them of their hard-earned money is despicable.
