A ruthless crew of scammers targeted five vulnerable pensioners, draining their bank accounts for bogus roof repairs and other fake services — even fighting over who got to fleece one victim. They walked away with nearly $100,000 in just three months, splurging on luxury watches and fine dining. Two victims died before justice arrived. The scheme involved money mules laundering cash, pressuring seniors into checks or transfers for work that never happened. Authorities caught them after one victim’s direct debits bounced, leading to the arrest of eight people. Sentences range from suspended terms to over four years — a stark warning: report any suspicious activity.
