Willie D Indicted In The iPhone Scam

William Dennis aka “Willie D” of the legendary Geto Boys has been indicted on 15 counts of wired fraud, Tuesday, June 9, in connection to an iPhone scam.

Allegedly, Willie D posed as a reputable electronics salesman for his company, Texas One Wireless. He used eBay to establish his credibility with international buyers. Once a buyer showed interest in the iPhones he would direct the buyers to conduct the transaction outside of eBay via email.

Upon the money being transferred to Willie D’s personal account, he allegedly sent a fake tracking number to the buyer leading them to believe he had sent their product to them. Needless to say, numerous foreign individuals never received the iPhones nor a refund and eventually were unable to contact Willie D.

The FBI opened an investigation thereafter, once the victims were unable to resolve this issue with Willie D. Last month, he was arrested at Houston’s Bush International airport returning from overseas.

If Willie D is convicted, he could face up to 20 years in federal prison and can be fined up to $250,000. Following his incarceration, Willie D can be on up to five years of supervised release and restitution to the victims may also be ordered by the court.

Willie D is on bond pending the trial in this case.
