Apart from being a part of the organized scam to defraud senior citizens of their retirement money, the two Indian jewelry stores, which were raided in Texas, had been operating an illegal gold melting setup, the Collin County sheriff's office said. Tilak Jewellers and Saima Jewellers helped in handling the gold obtained through the scam.
More than $30 million in gold and silver has already been seized from the raids and many more victims came forward after the raids alleging that they too had been scammed.
