\"\"A resident of Montego Bay, Jamaica, was extradited to the U.S. on charges relating to a bogus lottery scheme that targeted elderly victims in the United States, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greg Warren Clarke, 29, of Montego Bay, was charged in a six-count indictment with conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and international money laundering. <\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment was filed in the U.S. District Court in Florida in April 2019 and was unsealed upon the defendant\u2019s extradition to the United States, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the indictment, Clarke and his co-conspirators sought to unlawfully enrich themselves through a fraudulent lottery scheme targeting the elderly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Victims throughout the United States received mailings or phone calls in which they were falsely informed that they had won over $1 million dollars in a lottery and needed to pay fees to claim their winnings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment alleges the victims were instructed on how, and to whom, to send their money, and that they were told to send their money through wire transfers, the U.S. Postal Service, and private commercial mail carriers to certain individuals, including Clarke\u2019s cousin, Claude Anthony Shaw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The indictment further alleges that Clarke and Shaw discussed plans to receive victims\u2019 money over the phone and via text messages, and that at Clarke\u2019s direction, Shaw received money from victims and sent the funds to Clarke in Jamaica.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The victims never received any lottery winnings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaw pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in February 2017 for his role in the scheme and was sentenced to 36 months in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department of Justice\u2019s Consumer Protection Branch is committed to pursuing criminals who defraud U.S. consumers from abroad and to vigorously prosecuting them in federal court after they are apprehended,\u201d said Principal Deputy Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Division.\u00a0\u201cIn this case, the defendant targeted and exploited elderly Americans, and I thank the government of Jamaica for extraditing him to the United States to face charges.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
