2 Men Arrested In Rock Hill After Attempted $25K Scam

Two men from overseas are in custody following a reported in-person scam attempt in Rock Hill on March 3. Sumind Singh, 36, and Mohammed Mohsin, 28, are being held at the Moss Justice Center. Deputies responded to a call on Holly Road in Rock Hill, SC, where two victims reported a potential scam. The victims stated that a man claiming to be from Wells Fargo attempted to obtain $25,000 in cash from them. The investigation revealed that the victims had received a phone call from someone saying their Microsoft account had been hacked. This was followed by another call from an individual pretending to be a Wells Fargo employee, who instructed them to withdraw $25,000 and hand it over to a courier. The victims became suspicious when the scammer mentioned that someone would come to their home to collect the money, prompting them to contact the sheriff’s office. Deputies arrived at the victims’ home before the scammer and observed a vehicle matching the description provided by the victims. During a traffic stop Singh, the driver, matched the description victim gave deputies, while Mohsin was a passenger in the vehicle. Both men were taken into custody. Singh and Mohsin are both charged with obtaining property under false pretenses exceeding $10,000, as well as criminal conspiracy; both charges are felony offenses. YCSO detectives are working with other police agencies to determine if Singh and Mohsin are involved in other fraud cases. Singh is originally from Bangladesh, and Mohsin is from India. Both individuals were in the United States, one on a work visa and the other on a vacation visa.
