Report Description:
Jason Chan, a California resident, pleaded guilty to Wire Fraud and Aiding and Abetting on November 27, 2023, in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of California. Jamar Rogers, also a resident of California, pleaded guilty to the same charge on October 10, 2023.
Our investigation found that Rogers purchased Amtrak tickets with stolen credit cards and exchanged the tickets for vouchers that he then advertised for sale. Chan purchased the vouchers from Rogers at a discounted rate, used them to buy new tickets, and then sold the tickets online at a discounted price. As a result of the scheme, Rogers and Chan caused Amtrak to issue approximately $38,000 in ticket vouchers and caused losses of over $45,000 to Amtrak, card-issuing banks, and card holders.
