This guy is a Canadian National, he flew to Orlando and claimed that he was on vacation at the beach. From there he made his way to Illinois where he was picking up a lot of cash from a scam he was a participant in. They were robbing elderly people using the 'grandparent scam' (see below what that is). After a scammed someone they realized they were the victim and called the local police..they got his license plate from security cameras and were able to track him to a local motel. When they pulled up to the motel he had his door open and was just standing there. He had over $138k in cash on him, he as arrested. He admitted to being involved in the scam and pleaded guilty, they sentenced him to 50 months in federal prison. He was not even given the opportunity to go back to Canada before he started that sentence. Here’s how a typical grandparent scam works: Scammers contact elderly victims — usually over the phone. Fraudsters pose as a grandchild or family member, either by name (names of family members can often be found online or on social media) or by starting the conversation with, “It’s me, Grandpa!” in hopes that the victim will say the grandchild’s name. Next, they make up elaborate stories and claim they’re in trouble. The caller will be in hysterics — claiming they’ve been in an accident, are in trouble with the law, or have even been kidnapped while traveling in a foreign country. Often, scammers speak softly, their words muffled amid sobs, or come up with an excuse for why they sound different (such as a bad phone connection). They might also try calling in the middle of the night when the victim is not fully awake or doesn’t want to disturb others to confirm what’s going on. The scammers quickly pass the conversation over to a third party. Fraudsters then introduce another person involved in the emergency. This could be someone claiming to be law enforcement, a lawyer, or a kidnapper. In order to protect the family member in trouble, the victim will be required to pay money. The caller will ask for bail money or gift cards to get the victim’s loved one out of the situation. Sometimes, scammers even show up at your door or send rideshare drivers to collect money. 00:01 Intro 00:39 Victims House 01:25 Police find him 06:30 Motel searched 07:03 CASH 07:55 Interview w/ Suspect
