United States v. Thomas Ressler
6:18-CR-0004-SEH (D. Mont.)
Thomas Ressler has been charged with conspiring to commit mail fraud for his role in a large-scale mail fraud scam. According to charges, Ressler created fraudulent solicitation letters that his co-conspirators sent to victims throughout the United States and numerous other countries. The letters falsely notified victims they had won a large amount of money or other valuable prize and directed the victims to send money for processing and delivery fees. The letters purported to be from official-sounding yet fictitious entities including Cash Payout Disbursement Advisors, Progressive Winners Guarantors, and Vehicle Transport Company. Many of the letters included the name and signature of a fictitious officer or representative of the fictitious entity.
