A serial fraudster who lured would-be pet owners with a literal catfishing scheme will spend at least three years behind bars.
Tran Trung Hieu Nguyen, 38, left a trail of devastation after trawling through Facebook groups and online marketplaces advertising car parts, computer components and rare exotic fish worth thousands of dollars.
He pleaded guilty to masterminding the schemes, which also involved stealing multiple people's identities, in April.
