British Man Sentenced For Scamming Portland Resident
(Portland, OR) -- A British man has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for scamming a Portland resident out of nearly two million dollars. Prosecutors say 65-year-old Oscar Peters used the Millionaire Match Maker dating website to contact the victim. He claimed to be a billionaire living in Denmark. He set up an elaborate series of stories to get payments. They included that his ex-wife froze his assets or he needed money for business obligations. Peters pleaded guilty to wire fraud.
