A California woman was arrested on charges of defrauding victims among thousands of dollars through the Bonzi scheme.
Women have been identified as Consuelo Carrasco Ramires, 53, from Hemate, according to the Sharif County County Office.
The investigation began in April when the deputies were contacted by a victim in Peres, who was deceived.
After talking to the victim, the investigators decided that seven people were claimed by Carrasco-Armirez and attracted them to investing thousands of dollars in the sentence in bulk.
According to what was reported, women targeted members of society of Spanish origin, and in some cases, they threatened to deport them. The seven victims gave the suspects about $ 195,000 during the scheme.
The authorities said: “Instead of investing the victim’s money as promised, Carrasco-Ramirez used money for personal benefit,” the authorities said.
After the investigation, on August 20, Carrasco-Ramirez was arrested on charges of stealing with false pretexts, major theft and fake checks. It was booked at the COIS BYRD detention center, which is being held on bail of $ 193,000.
Investigators believe that there may be more victims targeted by Carrasco Ramires.
