Key Figure in $250 Million Elder Fraud Scheme Arrested at JFK Airport

Key Figure in $250 Million Elder Fraud Scheme Arrested at JFK Airport

Muzamil Ahmed, 35, described by prosecutors as a central figure in an international fraud network that defrauded older Americans of over $250 million, was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Ahmed was attempting to board a flight to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, when he was detained on outstanding Tarrant County warrants. The scheme involved scammers contacting older victims, claiming their bank accounts or personal information were compromised, and pressuring them to withdraw savings. Victims were then instructed to buy gold or Bitcoin, or prepare cash for couriers posing as federal agents. Prosecutors allege Ahmed's role was in laundering the stolen proceeds through shell corporations, funneling money via a gold refinery, converting assets into cryptocurrency, and moving the funds out of the United States. The investigation has identified over 200 victims and resulted in more than 40 indictments.

UNL Police Warn Students of Increased Ticket Scams Ahead of Football Season

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Police Department is issuing a warning to students about a rise in ticket scams, particularly as the new football season approaches. Captain Aaron Pembleton of the UNL Police stated that students have recently been scammed, with incidents occurring in the past two weeks. Scammers are reportedly targeting students through platforms like GroupMe, a popular student communication app. Pembleton noted that this period, from late August to early September, typically sees a nationwide increase in such scams due to the start of the college football season. He highlighted that a major red flag is when usernames and payment accounts do not match, and advised caution when using student-specific sites for transactions. The police have not observed a significant increase compared to the previous year but are proactively raising awareness to prevent further victimization.
