Former textbook agent Mary Ann T. Maslog-Smith was arrested last week in Seattle and will stand trial for alleged fraudulent activities done through Virginia-based firm International Business Network Inc. (IBN).

Maslog-Smith was involved in a 1999 bribery textbook contract scam in the Philippines.

She is now awaiting extradition to Memphis, Tennessee. She has been charged with 6 counts of wire fraud and 2 counts of mail fraud.

According to reports, Smith received money from unsuspecting victims to help them get student visas to the US.

The company, according to authorities, charged as much as $6,480 per student to gain access to visas. IBN also offered permanent resident status or green cards.  

Based on the indictments sheet, unidentified victims lost about $34,000.

Federal agents and the Central Virginia Better Business Bureau have been investigating Smith and IBN since last year after receiving a number of complaints from victims.

A trial date has yet to be scheduled.
