CLARKSBURG — A 37-year-old Harrison County man pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court for his role in a November bank robbery in Salem, West Virginia.
Clarksburg, WV Shelly Anne Leipham, of Las Vegas, Nevada, is facing fraud charges, Acting United States Attorney Randolph J. Bernard announced.
Leipham was indicted on March 2, 2021 on three counts of Wire Fraud, five counts of Mail Fraud, and three counts of Money Laundering. Leipham is accused of calling an elderly victim living in Harrison County and claiming the victim won one million dollars. Leipham is accused of defrauding the victim of nearly $25,000 by directing the victim to send that amount to her over the course of a two-year period by mail and wire. This case showcases just one of the many ways people prey on our elderly neighbors. Lottery scams aren t new, and it s most despicable when the perpetrator targets someone who is vulnerable. We encourage everyone to be vigilant and suspicious. If it sounds too good to be true, it s most likely a scam, said Bernard.
