STAT+: Prosecutors allege two individuals preyed on those searching for addiction recovery help
Two men were indicted this week for allegedly running a scam in which they preyed on New England residents searching for addiction recovery help, offering to hook them up with top notch treatment in sunny Florida, but sending them off to questionable facilities on false insurance policies.
Their promises were lies, and they received payouts for their referrals, according to Attorney General Maura Healey’s office.
