On October 6, 2025, the Nassau County Police Department in Long Island, New York arrested 46-year-old Chinese national Jinqin Jiang for serving as a money mule for a common tech support scam, where:
- The scammers will generate fake virus popups urging their victims, in this case a 74-year-old female, to call their designated “suppoat” line.
- The scammers will ask their victims to withdraw money from their bank account and “safekeep” the money by handing it off to a designated courier, or money mule.
Jiang was arrested on charges of 3rd degree attempted grand larceny and resisting arrest. Though released on an appearance ticket, he was swiftly taken into custody by ICE as he illegally entered the country, so I HOPE HE ENJOYS GAUTMO!
