A New Yorker and an Oklahoman have been indicted for their alleged roles in an elder fraud scam through computer pop-ups, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced on July 31.

Jingbin Jiang, 37, of Staten Island, New York, and Su Jian Liu, 38, of Edmond, Oklahoma, are accused of attempting to steal over $18 million from over 350 people in a scheme that lasted from around 2023 until July this year. Prosecutors said Jiang was arrested on Thursday, while Liu remained at large.
