An Indian man who had been studying in Canada has been sentenced to four years in a U.S. prison for his role in a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme targeting elderly victims.

Roshan Shah, 22, pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit money laundering. U.S. prosecutors said he entered the country on a visitor visa to collect cash and gold from victims who had been deceived by callers based in India.

The callers allegedly told victims that their identities had been connected to criminal activity and that they needed to surrender valuables to a federal agent for safekeeping. Shah impersonated the agent and collected the proceeds.

Authorities said Shah obtained more than US$3.7 million from 15 victims across several states. He was arrested in Wisconsin in the summer of 2025 while attempting to collect what he believed were additional fraud proceeds.

Officials did not identify the Canadian college Shah attended or the province where he had been living.
