Speaker 1 (00:00):
A fifty six year old Florida man. His name is
Jeffrey Arthur moynihan junior. Of course he's a junior. Has
been a reciper, allegedly impersonating Elon Musk and defrauding a
seventy four year old woman from Texas of over two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. Now.
Moynihan posed as the billionaire on Facebook, enticing the victim

(00:23):
with promises of a fifty five million dollar return on
her investment. There's the first alarm bell when someone online
is promising you a return of fifty five million. Why
wouldn't everyone be doing that? Why is she so special?
But some people are vulnerable. Over the course of several months,
the victim sent money to accounts associated He's the next

(00:45):
red flag with moynihan and his company, Jeff's Painting, Pressure
and Washing. Okay, so Elon Musk, I don't think has
any history in the pressure hose business. That's my second
red flag. Her husband reported that their total losses amount
to around about six hundred thousand dollars. Moynihan now faces

(01:10):
charges of grand there following his arrest at his home
in Bradenton. Two things here, don't rip people off and
don't fall for it. Good advice. May thanks
