A North Carolina man was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for selling the personal information of over 7 million elderly Americans to Jamaican scammers.

57-year-old Troy Murray (who used the Steve Dixon pseudonym) pleaded guilty in January 2026 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and was sentenced Thursday to 121 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and ordered to forfeit $5,2 million.

Prosecutors said that Murray’s alias was so widely known among Jamaican scammers that it was referenced in a 2022 song lyric by a Jamaican musical artist.
