Chinese National Arrested for Fraud Scheme Involving $10M Across US, $5M from Michigan Elderly Woman

A 24-year-old Chinese national, Xiangbo Sun, was arrested for his role in a fraud scheme that targeted victims across the United States, totaling over $10 million, including nearly $5 million from an elderly woman in Michigan. The scheme involved convincing the woman that her personal information had been compromised and that she needed to transfer funds to 'safe pick-up agents' to prevent identity theft. Sun was arrested after picking up $60,000 in cash from the woman's home. Investigations revealed that Sun had been active in the U.S. since late May and had participated in similar fraudulent schemes across the country.
