Quan Lin ARRESTED for serving as money mule for FBI scam

On March 18, 2025, the El Monte Police Department in California arrested 53-year-old Quan Lin for serving as a money mule for an FBI scam against a 73-year-old, where:

  • The scammer will call the victim under the guise of an FBI agent and threaten to arrest them for possessing child pornography.
  • To avoid being arrested, the victim will be asked to withdraw $25,000 from their bank account and place it in an envelope for a courier to pick it up.
  • Afterwards, the victim will receive another call from the scammer, who will falsely claim there were additional warrants for their arrest and demand an additional $35,000.

Lin is now being held at the Central Detention Center in San Bernadino on a $250,000 bond after being charged with

  • Elder Fraud
  • Grand Theft
  • Theft by False Pretenses.

The penalty for these scum should start at 25 years in a prison with a chance of parole at 24 1/2 years. I would also support the death penalty if the scum are foreign nationals. Until this country gets tough, nothing will happen of value.

Add 18 U.S. Code § 912
It specifically addresses the crime of falsely assuming or pretending to be a law enforcement officer

I am just disgusted with the crime brought in to our country. We have imported so many criminals into the US that we don’t know friend from foe. This isn’t about a race, specific country or color of skin but is 100% about our imported criminals and their families that sponge off the US citizens.

Exactly right :+1:t2::100:
People are here and we have no idea who they are or where they came from. A couple of countries have freely admitted that they took prisoners out of their jails, and mentally ill patients out of the hospital and sent them to Mexico with instructions to cross into the US.
It’s too expensive for them to take care of these prisoners, so they made it our problem. How nice :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:
