INDIAN PRINTER NAMED IN FRAUD MAIL RACKET IN US

WASHINGTON: US authorities have named an Indian printer in a multi-country mailing scam that targeted the elderly and vulnerable by offering them millions of dollars in cash prize or reward in return for a small processing fee.

According to the complaint filed in a US court on Friday, “fraudulent direct mailers create letters falsely claiming that the recipient has won, or will soon win, cash or valuable prizes, or otherwise will come into good fortune.”

But in order to receive the sum, the recipient is required to send across a small amount of money as taxes or processing fee.
