Operation Silver Shores dismantles $30M fraud targeting elderly victims

Fox 26 News

FRESNO, Calif (FOX26) — Arrests were made across California, Texas, and Florida following the indictment of over 20 members of a transnational criminal organization charged with wire fraud and money laundering, U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced on Tuesday.

Operation Silver Shores, which focused on a sophisticated fraud network operating in the U.S. and Latin America, led to the arrest of 15 individuals accused of stealing more than $30 million from elderly American victims.

"The indictment announced today exposes a telemarketing scam that deliberately targeted our vulnerable elderly citizens," said U.S. Attorney Grant. "But my office will relentlessly pursue justice, hold fraudsters accountable, and work tirelessly to safeguard seniors from such predatory schemes."
