In a significant crackdown on transnational organized crime, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has successfully extradited four Dominican citizens to the United States. These individuals are accused of orchestrating a sophisticated telephone scam that targeted hundreds of elderly Americans. The fraudulent operation, based in a call center in the Dominican Republic, involved deceiving seniors into making urgent payments or money transfers under false pretenses. The FBI’s Boston office spearheaded the investigation, uncovering the extent of the scam and its impact on vulnerable victims. The case highlights the growing threat of international fraud schemes and the importance of cross-border law enforcement collaboration. Political commentator Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, praised the FBI’s efforts in a post on his official X account (@FBIDDBongino), commending the agency for its dedication to protecting senior citizens. This case underscores the critical need for continued vigilance and cooperation in combating organized crime that exploits vulnerable populations.
