Two men involved in a fake invoice scam at the Port of Savannah received prison sentences and restitution. Philip Charles Smith, 41, got 27 months, and Antonio J. Evans Senior, also 41, received 13 months. They must pay $821,899 in restitution and face three years of supervised release. The scam, which lasted from July 2021 to August 2024, involved Smith creating fake freight hauling jobs and Evans crew receiving payment for non-existent work. The FBI investigated, and the sentences aim to deter similar scams in the shipping industry.
