A good amount of scams are now being committed by Indians who come to the US, mostly on a student visa
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: This Indian man who attempted to scam an elderly widow by convincing her to meet him with $700,000 in gold was met by an undercover agent with hundreds of chocolate coins in metallic gold plastic wrap in Ottawa County, Michigan.
Authorities say this gold scam performed by convincing elderly people into believing their social security number has been compromised and that they need to convert their funds to gold and send them to the scammer.
The one person charged, 20-year-old Yug B. Chauhan, has a home address in Elmhurst, Illinois. Chauhan is locked up in the Kent County jail with a $100,000 bond and a hold from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
