On August 28, 2025, US Postal Inspectors in Connecticut arrested 54-year-old Jamaican national Christopher Gibbon for facilitating a lottery scam between December 2016 and July 2018, where:

Gibbon and co-conspirators would send victims phone calls and emails falsely claiming they had won the lottery.

In order to claim their nonexistent funds, the victims would be asked to send money to cover “taxes” on these winnings, which in one instance was $50,000.

Gibbon was indicted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service on July 26, 2018 but promptly went into hiding by cheating on his wife to live with a girlfriend in Springfield, Massachusetts under the alias of “Rasheqhenre Heedram,” though when he was arrested he went under the identity of “Amos Johnson.” Gibbon now faces:

Four counts of mail fraud

One count of bank fraud

One count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud.
