A woman in Melbourne has found herself in hot water after being accused of running multiple scams on Facebook Marketplace. The Victoria Police were able to uncover her alleged wrongdoings, which reportedly affected at least 20 victims across the country. The 37-year-old, who hails from Donvale, is said to have advertised luxury fashion items on social media between April and May of this year.
According to the police, the woman would entice customers with her offerings, but once the transactions were made, she would allegedly pocket the money and never send the goods. This has resulted in a significant loss for her unsuspecting customers, who are believed to be scattered all over the country. The police have stated that the total worth of the deceptions is in the thousands of dollars, a staggering amount that has left many feeling cheated and betrayed.
In a swift operation, the authorities were able to arrest the woman at her home in Donvale yesterday. She now faces 25 counts of obtaining property by deception, a serious charge that carries severe consequences. Despite this, she was granted bail and is expected to make an appearance at the Ringwood Magistrate's Court today.
This shocking case serves as a reminder to always be cautious when making online purchases, especially on social media platforms where it can be easier for scammers to hide their true intentions. The victims of this alleged scammer are a testament to the importance of being vigilant and doing thorough research before making any financial transactions. Let this be a cautionary tale to all, and may justice be served for those who fell victim to this deceitful scheme.
