Deputies arrested a man for allegedly swindling a San Mateo County resident earlier this week by sending malware to the victim's computer, the Sheriff's Office said. The 62-year-old resident was scammed through ransomware, which was successfully conducted by the suspect by first contacting him through email, which led to phone calls, and eventually gaining control of his computer remotely.
The following day, the victim contacted the Sheriff's Office and reported being victimized by a scam. Following an investigation, the suspect was identified as 38-year-old Hongliang He of Southern California. Hongliang was later arrested and booked into the Maguire Correctional Facility on suspicion of various crimes, such as obtaining money by false pretenses and conspiracy to commit crime.
