A trucking company owner from Connecticut has been accused of swindling Amazon Logistics out of over $3 million. Ameer Nasir, 24, was charged with 13 counts of wire fraud, following a federal grand jury indictment on May 7, 2025.
The scheme: From December 2019 to February 2021, Nasir allegedly created 23 fraudulent trucking accounts with Amazon Logistics. He falsely claimed to complete more than 1,000 shipping assignments, submitting fake invoices for payment.
- Nasir purportedly manipulated Amazon's transportation management system to record non-existent trailer movements.
- The charges could lead to a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count if he is found guilty.
Background: The accounts included one for Nasir's business, Pak Express Transport, LLC, and others under names of unaware companies. Nasir was released on a $300,000 bond after his arrest on May 8.
Amazon and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are conducting the ongoing investigation to unravel the depths of the fraud reported by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Next steps: Nasir's case progression will reveal how these complex schemes impact larger logistics networks.
