A Wareham man is among four individuals being charged with fraudulently collecting more than $79,000 by the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office.

In a statement Thursday, Attorney General Maura Healey said 39-year-old Adam Zalgenas is charged with 33 counts of Unemployment Fraud and one count of Larceny over $250.

According to an investigation by the Attorney General's Office and the Executive Officer of Labor and Workforce Development's Department of Unemployment Assistance, Zalgenas failed to report earnings from working for TruGreen as a landscaper and groundskeeper while receiving unemployment benefits.

Other offenders include Isaasha Greenidge, 34, of Dorchester; Ryan Clark, 38, of Worcester; and Joaquina Reynoso, 58, of Lawrence.

Zalgenas, Greenidge and Clark will be arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court on February 19, while Reynoso will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on February 18.
