## Resource

A Houston man, 34-year-old Zulkar Nain, is behind bars after allegedly orchestrating a terrifying scam that ripped $275K from an elderly victim—using fake warrants, crypto ATMs, gift cards, and even in-person cash drops. He impersonated a cop, threatened violence, and lured the terrified victim into handing over $90K in cash. Now facing multiple felony charges including theft, elder exploitation, and extortion, Nain’s case is just the tip of the iceberg as detectives hunt for accomplices in this chilling fraud.
