Business woman, sales rep linked to lottery scam

KINGSTON, Jamaica – A business woman and a sales representative were charged by the police on Monday for allegedly taking part in lottery scam operations.

They are 37-year-old Karrian Gray of St James and 24-year-old Adrian Wilson of Manchester. Reports from the Westmoreland Police are that a lottery scamming operation was being carried out at a premises in Chantilly, Westmoreland where a man was detained. A 2010 Toyota Axio he was driving was taken to the police station.

Gray later attended the police station to prove ownership of the vehicle when her receipts showed that the motorcar was purchased cash for J$1.4 million in July of last year. She was subsequently charged. Wilson, who was the sales representative in the  transaction was arrested and charged later.

Gray and Wilson will appear in the Manchester Parish Court on Wednesday, August 10.
