Four Jamaican Nationals Arrested for Lottery Scam in Alabama

News summary

Four Jamaican nationals—Peter Walcott, Malik Chambers, Romario Nembhard, and Jermaine Smith—were arrested in Baldwin, Alabama, for their alleged involvement in a lottery scam that defrauded elderly Americans of over $200,000. The FBI identified the suspects as part of a crime syndicate dubbed the 'Jamaican Knights,' which primarily targeted vulnerable elderly victims across the U.S. Victims were misled into believing they had won a lottery, only to be told they needed to pay taxes before claiming their winnings, often sending cash through FedEx. The FBI intercepted numerous cash deliveries and has since recovered over $180,000, much of which has been returned to the victims. Three of the suspects had expired visas, while Chambers holds a temporary visa set to expire soon. The investigation continues as six more suspects have been identified, highlighting the growing issue of lottery scams targeting the elderly.
