Defendants phoned senior citizens and falsely claimed their grandchildren were in legal trouble and needed money to resolve fabricated issues.
A man and woman charged in a nationwide racketeering scheme targeting the elderly that took more than $300,000 from at least 10 San Diego County residents pleaded guilty to federal charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.
Joaquin Lopez, 46, of Hollywood, Florida, and Anajah Gifford, 33, of North Hollywood, California, entered guilty pleas this month, admitting to their roles in a scheme that took more than $2 million from more than 70 senior citizens across the nation. "These defendants were part of a sophisticated criminal organization that exploited the tremendous love a grandparent has for a grandchild," U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman said."The victims were financially and emotionally devastated by callous people who thought only of enriching themselves."Stay informed about local news and weather.
