A business email compromise scheme resulted in over 10 victims being defrauded. The scheme involved spoofed emails that made it appear as though the fraudsters were communicating with known suppliers and creditors. A company was used to receive and transfer money, with a percentage being kept as a fee.

The individual responsible pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison time, followed by supervised release. A federal judge handed down the sentence, which included 30 months in prison.

Further details about the case are available, including the role of the company and the timeframe during which the scheme operated. The total amount defrauded was nearly one million dollars.
