A woman accused of fleecing over US$100,000 from unsus-pecting persons in the United States, was arrested by police from the Montego Bay CIB on Tuesday night.

Said to be the mastermind of an international scam that has been running for over a year, 26-year-old Kerry-Ann Graham, who is unemployed and of a Hopewell, Hanover address, was accosted at a FedEx outlet in Montego Bay, where she allegedly went to collect a package.

According to information from the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN's) liaison officer in Montego Bay, the complainant made a report to the Financial Investigation Division. She alleged that she had been called by Graham and informed that she was the winner of the Jamaican Sweepstakes and Lottery. The complainant also reported that Graham told her that in order to claim her prize she had to send money for service fee, shipping, and other charges.

It is reported that, over time, Graham collected US$127,000 from those she reportedly conned.
