Several families in Houston were scammed by a man who posed as a funeral home director so he could steal their dead loved one’s life insurance policy payouts, according to authorities.
Javian Major, 26, is facing a forgery charge after he allegedly stole a $25,000 life insurance policy from a beneficiary. As detectives from Harris County Constable Precinct 1 continued their investigation, more than 50 people came forward to allege Major scammed them as well.
“This is a case that absolutely turned my stomach,” Alan Rosen, Harris County Constable for Precinct 1, said at a press conference . “It turned my stomach because you’re dealing with people at the most vulnerable time of their lives after they lost somebody that they loved and cared for.”
