Man Faces 95 Counts for Alleged Affinity Scam
37-year-old Jason Severs has been charged with 95 counts of fraud and theft related to what investigators claim to be more than a decade of scamming. Specifically, the Vigo County, Indiana prosecutor has charged Mr. Severs with securities fraud, selling bogus securities certificates, selling securities without a license, and giving false information to investors.Police were informed about this alleged scam when an Ohio woman allegedly requested the money from her investment earlier this year and never received it. An investigation was initiated and the government now alleges that Mr. Severs scammed at least 30 people in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Arizona out of approximately $3 million.
The Indiana Securities Commissioner has called this case an affinity fraud because Mr. Severs reportedly targeted people who were friends of his family and thus connected in some way and trusting of Mr. Severs.
Mr. Severs is being held in Vigo County Jail on bond.
