ORLANDO --

A Jamaican man was arrested in Orlando Tuesday in connection with a lottery scam federal officials say targeted the elderly.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of Oneike Mickhale Barnett.

Investigators said Barnett was behind a scam since 2008, in which he and others working with him called their victims using the Internet and told them they won the lottery, but had to pay thousands of dollars in fees to release the money.

The winnings were never paid and the money the victims sent was forwarded to Jamaica, according to federal authorities.

Barnett was charged with conspiracy and 37 counts of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years for each count.

Federal investigators said they will continue to work with officials in Jamaica to continue to crack down on such scams."

I wonder how much, if any at all, of that stolen money will be recovered and returned.

(In other news, your subject made me chuckle. Well played.)

Such good news too! :) Yeah!   It only goes to show that those filed reports do work even if they do take times to actually nail these scammers!

One down and several hundred (thousand??) more to go!!

Chalk up another win for Project JOLT!

I wonder if it's the same Jamaican man that Irish recorded trying to scam him on his youtube channel. lol

*Slow Clap* Very nicely done on the title Fox.

The officer informed him I was right beside him and that he would NEVER stop calling me,,,,the officer informed him we were filing a warrant for his arrest...this went on and on...needless to say I am exhausted...He did know exactly where I live...this is over the top...I do have extra police protection in place....these tracking apps should be outlawed...it is Big Brother on steroids.
