Two Indian-origin men, including a University of Toledo student, have been charged in an alleged money laundering conspiracy. US reports cited federal agents establishing that the alleged scammers, Tejas Patel and Navya Bhatt, were arrested in connection to a series of massive schemes aimed at defrauding the elderly of thousands of dollars in the US and more.
In their alleged efforts to scam seniors across Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio, the accused participated in multiple schemes, including PayPal frauds, Microsoft computer fixes and Bitcoin scams, while posing as tech workers, according to WTOL11 and ABC’s local news chapter WTVG.
