United States v. Elliot Phillip Rosenberg

According to the indictment, beginning in or about 2010, Elliot Phillip Rosenberg owned and managed one or more call centers in Costa Rica engaged in a sweepstakes scheme directed at individuals residing in the United States. Rosenberg and his co-conspirators fraudulently induced victims to pay thousands of dollars by falsely representing that the victims had won valuable prizes. Rosenberg and his co-conspirators continued to call and insist that additional payments be made for new fees until an individual either ran out of money or discovered the fraudulent nature of the scheme.
