Fraud scheme attacked by postal inspectors nationwide
A postwar nationwide drive targets fake mutual benefit life protection operators selling certificates in malls. About 100 schemes exist, costing Americans hundreds of thousands yearly. Two men, Angus Littlejohn and Charles Hill, received prison terms for mail fraud. Promoters lure elderly into “protection” plans with no medicals, promising $1000 to $5000 payouts, but postmortem checks often void claims and payments vanish.
