A 67-year-old woman from Doral, Florida, identified as Carmen Valdez De Miguel, also known as Maria Rodriguez, was arrested for allegedly defrauding a man out of $3,000 through a fake spiritual cleansing ritual. The scam, which took place at AMLI 8800 apartments, involved tarot card readings and promises to double the victim's money using a ritual with eggs and worms. The money was never returned, and Valdez De Miguel faces charges of organized scheme to defraud, grand theft, and resisting an officer. In Zurich, a woman was convicted for her role in a criminal network that defrauded people across German-speaking regions using curses and cleansing ceremonies. The network, led by 44-year-old Amela and her 29-year-old daughter-in-law Anna, is believed to have scammed at least 70 victims out of 10 million Swiss Francs. During raids near Vienna, authorities seized 4.1 million euros, 2.1 million Swiss Francs, and 25 kg of gold. In St. Croix, Nicole Morales, 48, was sentenced to 16 months in prison and ordered to pay $372,496.34 in restitution after pleading guilty to three counts of wire fraud. Morales embezzled the funds from her employer, Nichols, Newman, Logan, Grey, and Lockwood, P.C., between November 2015 and January 2019, using QuickBooks and Banco Popular to manipulate payroll and transfer the money to her personal accounts. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In Florida, a cyber fraud scheme resulted in the theft of $846,864.86 from the Citrus County School Board. The scam involved fraudulent transfers to a fake vendor account, with the majority of the funds later recovered by the U.S. Secret Service. Baltimore City was defrauded of over $1.5 million through a cyberattack and identity theft scheme. The fraud involved a fake vendor redirecting city funds to an unauthorized bank account, with the FBI now investigating the incident. The perpetrator used Starlink to bypass the city's geofencing system.
