The Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) has arrested three persons and seized over $1 million in Jamaican and US currencies as it probes a fraud case against Prisoners for Christ (PFC) Telemarketing Services.
PFC has allegedly defrauded several persons.
In a statement Tuesday afternoon, MOCA said it is aware that hundreds of persons have already been defrauded by the company.
It is being alleged that PFC Telemarketing, which has offices in the Corporate Area, purports to be able to import motor vehicles and requests a down payment of between $85,000 and $100,000.
MOCA said, so far, it has carried out operations resulting in the seizure of several motor vehicles, over J$1 million and US$1,813 in cash.
The investigative body said it understands that disgruntled clients of PFC have seized computers and other equipment from one or more of its offices.
MOCA said these devices contain material which it believes have evidentiary value and is appealing to persons in possession of the items to hand them over to the agency.
