A federal grand jury in Alaska has indicted an Anchorage resident and an Indian national in connection with a $4.5 million fraud and money laundering scheme that spanned nearly nine years and affected at least 28 victims across the United States, the Department of Justice said on Aug. 28.

According to court documents, Michael Edward Gregg, 62, of Anchorage, and Vikash Pandey, 36, of India, along with other co-conspirators, posed as employees of tech support or security companies to target primarily elderly and vulnerable individuals.
