Willie D busted by the authorities after running online iPhone scame
Don’t buy an iPhone from a rapper.
Veteran rapper, Geto Boys founder, amateur boxer and now online scam runner Willie D has been arrested by the authorities for running an online iPhone scam.
Willie D was taken into custody at Bush Intercontinental, after he was indicted for his relationship with a company named Texas One Wireless.
The Houston Press alleges that Willie D, the motherfuckin gangster of love, had posed as an online sales rep for a company selling iPhones. Willie took the orders primarily via eBay but also through other online channels. The buyers were primarily outside of the US.
Funds were then transferred into Willie D’s account. Willie D provided phoney tracking numbers to the buyers but didn’t send out the iPhone.
When buyers would communicate with the rapper, he would tell the consumers that the packages were either lost in the mail, or that he could not refund their money until he located the products, but he would eventually cease communications with the victimized parties.
If proven guilty, Willie D faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
