LAWRENCEVILLE, GA – Jaylen Anderson, 23, wanted in connection with a $200,000 real estate scheme that occurred over a year ago, has been arrested, Gwinnett Police announced today, March 29.
Authorities said that Anderson was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail on Thursday, March 28.
Anderson is accused of scamming two people in separate transactions of more than $100,000 each.

In both incidents, the victims were led to believe they were purchasing property in Ellenwood, Georgia, from a Facebook Marketplace ad. Both victims were instructed to wire large amounts of money to what they were led to believe was a law group in Atlanta that the suspect claimed to represent. When the victims arrived at the law office on their closing dates, they discovered they had been scammed.
Gwinnett County detectives identified Anderson, of Fairburn, GA, as the suspect after a lengthy investigation. Anderson is charged with four counts of Theft by Deception, Identity Theft, and Records and Reports of Currency Transactions.
