A trio of scammers targeted senior citizens by telling them they'd won the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes.
Woman who helped dupe senior citizens out of $400,000 gets probation in fake Publishers Clearing House sweepstakesThe schemers told their victims they’d won the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes, the contest in which winners famously received jumbo-sized checks at their homes.
But in this case, prosecutors said, the schemers said there was a catch: Before victims could collect their winnings, they had to prepay expected taxes and fees. On Friday, U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick sentenced the final defendant in the case, Ariel Bagalue, to four years of probation, and also ordered that she pay her victims restitution. Prosecutors said Bagalue was not the scheme’s ringleader.
Instead, she pleaded guilty to a money laundering charge, and admitted helping her codefendants — Jowayne Godfrey, of Florida, and Vinmar Y.A. Mitchell, of New York — collect and distribute proceeds to each other. Mitchell was sentenced earlier this year, and also was placed on probation. Godfrey, meanwhile, was ordered to serve 30 months in prison.
They, like Bagalue, are responsible for paying their victims back. In an indictment unsealed in 2023, prosecutors said the trio targeted older victims — including an 89-year-old woman from Glenolden — and made promises of million-dollar winnings and luxury cars, including a Mercedes-Benz. But they said the winnings could only be collected after the victims sent money to pay off purported taxes or fees.
The scammers were often demanding, prosecutors said, and sometimes asked their victims to purchase gift cards or iPhones, which they said would be credited to the fictitious winnings. In the Glenolden victim’s case, prosecutors said, the victim sent payments to the group over the course of a few weeks. In all, they said, she was duped out of about $10,000.
“I couldn’t believe the extent it went to,” she said. “I am ashamed, and I do take responsibility for what I’ve done. ”I cover federal courts and law enforcement, white-collar crime and public corruption, and other news at the intersection of law and politics.
