- Pending Government Action:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:Passaic County Man Charged in $13 Million Technology Support Scam Targeting over Seven Thousand U.S. Victims
August 31, 2023- NEWARK, N.J. – A Passaic County, New Jersey, man was arrested today in connection with a technical support scam that targeted more than 7,000 victims in the United States, consisting mainly of small business owners and the elderly, defrauding those victims of more than $13 million according to U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
From 2017 through 2023, Yadav and his conspirators fraudulently held themselves out as a technology support company affiliated with a major U.S. business and accounting software company that developed and sold a widely used accounting software product. They operated under multiple fraudulent business names, including “Phebs Software Services, LLC,” “Phebs Software Services,” “PN Bookkeeping Services,” “Phebbs Consulting,” “Quickbooks Tech Assist,” “Quickbook US,” “Quickbooks Accounting,” and “Quickbooks Support Team.”
The conspirators would contact victims under the guise of fixing victims’ technical issues with the accounting software. After receiving tech support from the conspirators under these fraudulent pretenses, the victims would either be charged exorbitant fees or additional subscription fees. These “services” were all fraudulent: They would not cost any additional money for customers who contacted the actual software company, and the software company never authorized Yadav or his conspirators to act on its behalf or charge any fees.
The charge and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
