The Federal Bureau of Investigation has officially added Imer Gomez to its Most Wanted Fraudsters list as investigators continue their search for the suspect in connection with a massive investment fraud scheme. Authorities allege that Gomez orchestrated a fraudulent operation that impacted more than 400 victims, resulting in financial losses totaling approximately $10 million. The scheme primarily targeted residents in the San Antonio area, though victims were also identified across the United States. FBI San Antonio Special Agent in Charge Dan Faith stated that many of the victims were blue-collar workers who invested their life savings and retirement funds into the scheme. Investigators allege that Gomez promised investors high rates of return and provided falsified account statements that falsely indicated their investments were growing in value. In reality, the money was never actually invested. The fraud reportedly spread through personal connections, with Gomez offering referral bonuses to investors who recruited friends and family members to participate. Authorities believe Gomez is currently located in Mexico. To assist in the apprehension of the fugitive, the FBI is offering a reward of $150,000 for information leading to his location, arrest, and conviction. The FBI launched its Most Wanted Fraudsters list in June 2026 to draw public attention to major fraud cases and seek assistance in locating fugitives. The agency emphasizes the broad impact of such crimes on communities, particularly when individuals lose money saved for retirement or other essential financial needs. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Imer Gomez is urged to contact the FBI immediately by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI. The investigation remains active as authorities work to bring Gomez to justice and recover funds for the affected victims.
