Trafficking in Go-Boxes

MIAMI (Reuters) - Gridlock-weary motorists fell prey to two Miami residents who were charged
with fraudulently selling remote-control devices that purported to turn red traffic lights to green,
prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Dubbed ``Go-boxes,'' the devices were advertised exclusively on the Internet and sold for $69 to
$150, U.S. Attorney Tom Scott said.

Some customers who sent in checks and money orders for the devices got schematic drawings and
instructions to construct what turned out to be a flashing strobe light. Others got nothing at all.

State and federal agents tracked down the alleged sellers by monitoring the mailbox where the
payments were sent. The suspects, Johnnie Greene and Lisa Moon, were indicted on charges of mail
and wire fraud, Scott said.

Prosecutors could not immediately say how many hopeful motorists tried to buy the devices.
