scamming

One Chicago man cooked up an elaborate scheme that tricked two sisters out of $36,000 in cash collectively by using the brand of GRAMMY-winning rapper Chance The Rapper as a pawn in his diabolical scam.

A married couple from Boston found out the hard way that scamming doesn't pay after being charged with multiple felonies for using donations they retrieved for their non-profit, Violence in Boston, and using the funds for vacations, car rentals, shopping and even to get approved for a home. 

Even celebrities were getting in on the action of the now-infamous PPP loan scam, and it looks like Tyler Perry actress Ion Overman just got added to that list of unfortunate scammers.

Rapper Diamond “Baby Blue” Smith has been sentenced to over a year after being arrested in a COVID-19 loan scheme.

Detectives in Tampa are asking Uber to help solve a “grandparent scam” that conned $10,000 from a 75-year-old man and an 82-year-old woman out of $700,000, both told to withdraw money and then give it to someone using the ride-sharing service to pick it up.
