A New Hampshire man is heading to prison after admitting he ran an elaborate scam against his own mother and aunt.
Prosecutors say 39-year-old Jason Taylor convinced the women he was working undercover for the Justice Department and needed money for a secret investigation. Over several years, they handed over more than $260,000, draining savings and even forcing one victim to pawn her wedding ring. Taylor allegedly backed up the scheme with fake government documents and even forged a letter he claimed was from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
The fraud unraveled when a credit union flagged suspicious transactions. Taylor has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and ordered to repay the money. (Oddee.com)
