A preliminary hearing and pretrial were set Aug. 12 for Vashist Gadela, 35, West Fifth Street, Erie, Pennsylvania, charged with fourth-degree felony theft by deception and a misdemeanor charge of possessing criminal tools for allegedly scamming a Columbiana resident by leading them to believe they were buying gold coins totaling $124,665 in value "to secure their assets" and delivering them to a federal agent who referred to themselves as a Bernardo Pillot from the United States Marshal Service. The alleged scam occurred over the course of two incidents in June. Fifteen gold coins totaling $69,855 in value were purchased on June 3 and given to a courier on June 6 in Columbiana, and 12 gold coins totaling $54,810 in value were purchased on June 8 and delivered at an Austintown business on June 13. After becoming aware of the scam and reporting it to law enforcement on June 22, a fake cashier's check was made for $84,400 and sent to the scammer on July 31. A third package of gold coins was to be delivered at the Columbiana Library on Aug. 6 with a specific code. After allegedly receiving the package, Gadela was stopped and taken into custody by undercover officers in Columbiana and had the cellular device allegedly used to arrange the criminal acts and a radio frequency scanner in his possession at that time.
