MOCA says the 6 suspects arrested today defrauded an elderly NCB customer of sums equivalent to JM $14 million

The six persons arrested today by the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA), reportedly defrauded an elderly customer of the National Commercial Bank, of over Jamaican $14 million.

Director of Communications at MOCA, Major Basil Jarrett, says MOCA agents, with operational support from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), conducted operations from last night into this morning, targeting six locations across St. Elizabeth, Clarendon, St. Catherine, and Kingston.

The six suspects, who are alleged to be involved in the multi-million-dollar smishing scam, were held during the operations.

Allegations are that they stole US $45,000 and Jamaican $7.4 million, from the elderly customer and distributed the funds to several beneficiaries, using a sophisticated smishing scam.

Smishing is a cyber-attack that uses fake mobile text messages to trick persons into downloading malware, sharing sensitive information, or sending money to cyber criminals.

The attacks are alleged to have taken place in March last year.

Major Jarrett says that the six are expected to be charged shortly.
