On Monday, the Department of Justice announced that 35-year-old Dwayne Anderson of Hanover, Jamaica pled guilty Friday to federal wire fraud charges in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota.
"The Department of Justice is committed to protecting Americans from the threats posed by transnational criminals and will vigorously pursue them, wherever they are located," assistant attorney general Brett Shumate of the Justice Department's Civil Division said in a statement. "Anderson is the latest example in the Department's ongoing efforts to combat these kinds of foreign based schemes and hold those involved accountable."
Anderson admitted he used phony names and contacted the victim via phone, text and emails, falsely saying she had won millions of dollars in a sweepstakes. The victim sent money to pay purported fees and taxes.
Authorities did not say where in California the victim was from.
Prosecutors did not announce when Anderson would be sentenced. Officials previously said Anderson faced a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count.
Anyone over the age of 60 who may be a victim of financial fraud is urged to contact the Department of Justice's National Elder Fraud Hotline at 1-833-FRAUD-11 (1-833-372-8311).
