California arraigns pair in US$4 mil. phone theft ring

Shou Lin Wen, 39, and his wife, Yuting Tan, 27, made nearly US$4 million from the scheme in just eight months, the state attorney general said.

Prosecutors say the couple and unnamed co-conspirators recruited people from homeless shelters as far away as North Carolina to sign up for multiyear service contracts that let them buy multiple smartphones at a discount. The charges allege the buyers had no intention of paying the service contracts and were paid a small fee for their help.
