WASHINGTON (AP) - Two individuals involved in a massive scam that padded consumers' phone bills with calls they didn't make have agreed to pay up to $34.5 million in fines to settle federal fraud charges.
Most of the fines assessed against Yaret Garcia and Erika Riaboukha were suspended based on their inability to pay, the Federal Trade Commission said Monday. A third defendant, Qaadir Kaid, was fined $75,000.
The FTC said that it expects to recover $12,000 from Riaboukha and about $75,000 from Kaid and Garcia.
