United States v. Ari Tietolman & Adam Harper; United States v. Marc Roy Ferry

From 2005 to 2014, Ari Tietolman, 50, directed a fraud scheme from Montréal, Canada. In this scheme, Tietolman’s network of telemarketers sold worthless or non-existent services, including bogus prescription drug rebate programs, fraudulent identity theft protection services, and bogus legal service plans. In some cases, Tietolman’s associates debited victims’ bank accounts without their informed consent. Through this scheme, Tietolman and his co-schemers, including co-defendants Marc Roy Ferry and Adam Harper, took millions of dollars from thousands of senior citizens in the United States.              

Tietolman, Ferry, and Harper entered guilty pleas before United States District Judge Gerald A. McHugh to wire fraud and money laundering counts, all arising from their operation of this scheme that targeted senior citizens with deceptive telemarketing calls.
