MISSISSIPPI<\/strong> – \u00a0Fifteen people who were named in an eight-count federal indictment were arrested today in South Africa, Canada and the United States for being involved in a massive marketing scheme, officials said.<\/p>\n

A total of 19 individuals have been arrested.<\/p>\n

Investigators have identified hundreds of victims of this scam in the United States, resulting in the loss of millions of U.S. dollars.<\/p>\n

The indictments allege the involvement of a West African transnational organized crime enterprise engaged in numerous complex financial fraud schemes over the internet.<\/p>\n

This mass marketing fraud includes romance scams, re-shipping scams, fraudulent check scams and work-at-home scams, along with bank, financial and credit card account take-overs, officials said.<\/p>\n

The investigation began in October 2011, by Homeland Security Investigations a<\/strong>gents in Gulfport, Miss., after U.S. law enforcement officers were contacted by a female victim who was the victim of a sweetheart scam.<\/p>\n

The victim received a package in the mail requesting that she reship the merchandise to an address in Pretoria, South Africa.<\/p>\n

The investigation later revealed that the merchandise was purchased using stolen personal identity information and fraudulent credit card information of persons in the United States.<\/p>\n
