Washington: An Indian national has pleaded guilty to the charges of defrauding various telephone providers and insurance companies of millions of dollars by using stolen or fake identities to submit fraudulent claims for replacement cellular devices and then reselling those devices outside the US.
US Attorney Philip R Sellinger said Parag Bhavsar, 42, of Newark, pleaded guilty before US District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo on Wednesday to information charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit interstate transfer of stolen property.
According to documents, from June 2013 through June 2019, Bhavsar was involved in a widespread scheme to defraud cellular telephone providers and insurance companies using the US Postal Service mail system, as well as other third-party mail carriers.
