LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 52-year-old Ohio man has pleaded guilty to mail fraud and aggravated identity theft in Nebraska’s federal court for a scheme that bilked 17 people of nearly $190,000 for bogus time-shares and precious metals.

Myron Plummer of Mentor, Ohio, faces up to 22 years in prison when he’s sentenced in December.

The U.S. Attorney’s office says Plummer’s business, FCR Global LLC, would contact people who had previously been defrauded and told them that for a fee, the company would be able to recover their money and resell their time-shares.

Officials say at least one of the checks was mailed to Omaha, where Plummer opened a bank account using someone else’s Social Security number.
