WILLIAMSPORT — An elaborate computer scam operated by Chinese nationals bilked unsuspecting computer users, including the elderly, out of millions of dollars, according to a federal indictment.
An indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. Middle District Court states members of the conspiracy directed victims in central Pennsylvania and elsewhere to transfer at least $4.4 million through fraudulent representations and promises.
Eight Chinese nationals who are in the United States on student visas to attend college, including two who attended Penn State, have been charged.
