Four Chaldeans Arrested for Charity Scam in Amarillo
Four men posing as Chaldean clergy to collect funds for an orphan asylum in Turkey were arrested. They faced fines totaling 124.25 and are jailed as immigration officials pursue deportation. One “bishop” claimant carried a mixed English and Chaldean document claiming Turkish authorization. Receipts showed about 400 sent to Turkey but to an individual, not a benevolent group. Officials label them as personal beggars preying on Christians and charitable folk. Amarillo Panhandle.
