Federal authorities say Beverly Mozer-Brown accepted anywhere from $8,000 to $16,000 from people who needed green cards to stay in the U.S.
Authorities say she and her co-workers then prepared documents with fake information and paid American citizens to participate in the phony marriages. The scam netted more than 1 million dollars between 2001 and 2006.
Maybe I’m a little too old fashioned and perhaps a lot more moral – but even for a nice chunk of change, I don’t think I could ‘pretend’ to be married to someone like this.
What would you tell future spouses when you had to reveal you’d been married before? “Oh, that was just a side job.”
If you were the most single of all singles, could you ever pretend to be married to someone and if so, at what cost?
