IN THE NEWS... Senior Scams  |
Accused Murderer Scams Elderly Man From Jail CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire)
A 29-year-old man in jail awaiting trial for a
2007 drive-by shooting has been charged with hijacking an elderly man's phone
line by carrying out a scam from the Cook County Jail.
Jaryan Gills is charged with impersonating a police officer, a felony. Already
being held on $1 million bond, an additional bond of $50,000 was added Friday
as a result of this charge, according to a release from the Cook County
Sheriff's office.
On Sept. 2, Gills was out of his maximum security cell for recreation time when
he used a jailhouse phone to make a collect call, according to the release. He
dialed random numbers until his call was accepted by the 77-year-old Chicago man.
Gills then immediately identified himself as "Officer Smith with the Cook
County Sheriff's Department," telling the victim that a relative was
involved in a car accident. Gills told the man to immediately call "Lt.
Long" at the scene of the crash by dialing *72, then a number actually
registered to Gills' girlfriend.
The victim did not enter the numbers correctly, however, and Gills called him
back two more times, walking him through the process, until the victim did it
correctly, according to the sheriff's office.
By dialing *72, the victim had forwarded his phone line to Gills' girlfriend's
house. That meant that when Gills called the victim's number again, it rang
directly to his girlfriend's house, where a person accepted seven collect calls
over the course of one day -- all charged to the victim's phone line. Once a
scam is successfully carried out, according to the sheriff's office, inmates
often barter with other inmates to make collect calls with the number.
The entire time, the victim is unable to use their phone, further adding to the
urgency of trying to learn more about the "accident" involving a
loved one. This victim, however, learned after just one day that there was no
crash and it was a scam. Phone company officials will not hold the victim
responsible for the calls, the release said.
