A Greendale man said that he lost thousands after getting a call from the crooks. The group is described as a Jamaican organized crime ring. The man police arrested is being held in the state of Georgia. Officers said he’s a mule for the group and a middle man in the con to separate elderly Americans from their savings.

The Greendale victim agreed to talk to 12 News about the incident. His name is being protected for security reasons.

“Sam” said that the calls he received from Jamaica promised prize money for a small processing fee.
