The men were arrested in Fairbanks. Troopers warn that more suspects may remain at large.
, troopers said the scam had prompted dozens of police reports across the state. The suspects were typically “well-dressed men or women who appear foreign in both their clothing and their speech,” troopers said. They claimed they were in dire straits and needed to sell gold at low cash prices.
Troopers said they caught up with Miclescu and Boceanu on Saturday, after reports of the scam being conducted at a Fairbanks shopping center. A trooper observed them making three contacts with people, then pulled over the suspects’ vehicle and detained them for further questioning. Troopers haven’t yet determined the full extent of losses suffered by victims of the scam, or how many suspects are involved, according to agency spokesman Austin McDaniel.
As troopers investigate the case, McDaniel said, Alaskans’ first line of defense against being swindled is an alertness to possible scams.
