Man Sentenced for $700K Elderly Fraud in Call Center Scheme

Arifkhan Pathan, a SeaTac man, has been sentenced to one year and one day in prison and three years of supervised release for his involvement in a call center scheme that defrauded elderly victims of over $700,000. Pathan played a key role in the scheme, which targeted victims across the country by posing as Social Security Administration employees and convincing them to withdraw cash and send it via UPS or FedEx for "safe-keeping." The investigation revealed that the callers were connected to an Indian call center, and Pathan used false driver's licenses to pick up the cash-filled packages.
