The FBI said they’ve arrested 11 people — including six from the Dominican Republic — for an international mail, wire and money-laundering scheme targeting seniors in New England. The FBI said the scam involved scripted calls impersonating their grandchildren, attorneys or law enforcement officers, claiming their loved ones were in trouble and needed money. More than 400 seniors, most from Massachusetts, were scammed out of a combined $5 million.
