Hello folks, I’ve recently read an article where the military is getting targeted. U.S. charges five in scheme to swindle millions from military personnel was written on August 21st, and this could be the best news ever. The military is one of our most valuable citizens, and they are out for long periods of time. We should try to protect them as much as we can from these scams.
Millions of dollars from current and former military personelle were targeted in this scheme, according to the article.
The scheme targeted thousands of people, many of whom were elderly or disabled, and involved the compromise of a U.S. Defense Department portal that military
members use to access their benefits online, law enforcement officials said.Robert Wayne Boling Jr., Frederick Brown, Trorice Crawford, Allan Albert Kerr, and Jongmin Seok were charged with multiple counts of conspiracy, wire fraud,
and aggravated
identity theft. Three of the accused were arrested in the Philippines, while the other two were apprehended in the U.S. Lawyers for the defendants could not be reached
for comment.
Identity Theft is a link to their tagged section of the site where they cover plenty of stuff in regards to that. It could be tagged, or category base, I’m not sure on this. The total amount of money taken is unclear, and this could still be investigated.
Three were apprehended outside the United States and two were in the U.S. according to the article. Remember, crime does not pay, make this a well known fact, if the authorities want you, they will work to get you. Thoughts?
