SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) – Two Chinese citizens are in custody after Walmart loss prevention employees in American Fork and Saratoga Springs alerted Utah police to a nationwide criminal organization based out of China.

Arrested were 33-year-old Shuyan Wang and 35-year-old Junliang Tang, who both arrived in the United States on December 18, 2019, with travel visas.

Police say the pair were members of an unnamed criminal organization that would scam credit card information from people across the country, mainly targeting the elderly.

Wang and Tang are accused of using that information to buy hundreds of gift cards worth thousands of dollars at Walmarts in Utah and Salt Lake Counties as well as Walmarts across the West and Midwest.

Through Walmart's internal investigation, Wang and Tang were seen on surveillance video using their phones to purchase thousands of dollars worth of gift cards.

The pair would then resell the stolen cards for a profit, making more than $600,000 since the scam began in October 2019.

Wang is facing 13 felony charges:

• Money Laundering, a second-degree felony
• Pattern of unlawful activity, a second-degree felony
• 11 counts of unlawful use of a financial transaction card

Tang is facing three charges:

• Money Laundering, a second-degree felony
• Pattern of unlawful activity, a second-degree felony
• Obstruction of justice, a third-degree felony

Police are asking the courts to not grant bail for either Wang or Tang as they are both believed to be flight risks.

Police say neither has any ties to the area and they fear the pair would flee back to China if released.

It is not just Indian anymore. 2 months ago I spoke with a karachi scammer & a Bangladeshi scammer. When I told the Bangladeshi scammer (Engineer by studies) about karachi, he was really interested to know how his English compared to karachi scammer. I told him, his English was better, which was true.

How do we spam US forum? We post real news reported by your own media.. maybe you are too humiliated by some of the reported news? Prove to me we post fake news make up by ourselves to malign US. If not just be a man and stop grumbling.

While accusing others, isnt what u are doing now is precisely what u curse at?
