More than 260 people targeted in elder fraud sweeps, including alleged $30M attorney scammer
ABA Journal
More than 260 people have been targeted across the globe in the largest coordinated sweep of elder fraud cases in history, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday.
The scammers victimized more than 2 million Americans, many of them elderly, causing millions of dollars in losses, according to a press release. USA Today, ABC News and Fox 43have coverage.
The DOJ announced a similar sweep a year ago involving more than 200 defendants. The combined losses caused by the defendants in the two crackdowns amount to three quarters of a billion dollars.
