Two San Fernando Valley men have been arrested in connection with a telemarketing scheme in which they allegedly duped businesses across the nation into buying overpriced and defective toner for copying machines, the U.S. attorney’s office said Monday.
Danny Yahalom, 35, of Encino and Oren Ben Elkanah, 50, of Tarzana were named in a 45-count indictment that included allegations of fraud, money laundering and filing false income tax returns.
Prosecutors said the pair, operating as International Business Network, bilked nearly three dozen companies out of about $150,000.
