Indian Scammer Steals $400k in Gold Bars, Gets Busted. BODYCAM

Описание: I hate to see these types of situations, this guy is a 'money mule' for a large criminal enterprise based in India. These people prey on elderly folks using a number of different methods ranging from fake warrants they tell people they have or computer popup messages that tell them to call a phone number for help with their bank accounts etc.

The first 5 minutes of this video is a recorded phone call between Police and the 78 year old male victim. This was after he had already picked up over $250k in gold and around $20k in cash from a 77 year old unrelated female victim. The Police then setup a 3rd meeting with a fake package for him to pickup, they then pulled him over after he left.

The guy in the video is a 21 year old from India who was living in Chicago apparently. There is no video of his interview with Police, he did confirm that all the victims he had stolen from are American and that all the people he was sending the gold and money to were from India. He claimed to not know what the money or gold was for even though he had another warrant out for doing the same thing in a different county.

He was charged with:

-FIRST DEGREE GRAND THEFT (812.014(2a1))
2 Counts

-ORGANIZED FRAUD-$50,000 OR MORE (817.034(4a1))

Case is still pending, he has pled not guilty so far. I would expect him to change that and try to get some sort of plea deal.

If you have elderly relatives, give them a heads up about all these scams going on right now. Honestly the volume is out of control, I know people cant understand how they fall for these but it happens more often than you would think.

ALL subjects in these videos should always be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
