Two Dominican Republic residents who were extradited to the United States appeared in a Newark federal court on charges they participated in a “grandparent scam” that defrauded hundreds of seniors out of millions of dollars, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on July 23.
Rafael Ambiorix Rodriguez Guzman, also known as Max Morgan, 59, and Felix Samuel Reynoso Ventura, also known as Fili and Filly The Kid, 37, are among 11 Dominican Nationals who have been charged in a 19-count indictment filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
