The Fiji Police Mpaisa Taskforce has charged two sisters with one count each of obtaining Financial Advantage by Deception for allegedly dishonestly obtaining cash amounting to $500 through the mobile money transfer app.
The two aged 25 and 22 years from Korovuto in Nadi, are alleged to have on 5 January 2024, told the victim about a profit making organization on Facebook, and provided a link.
The victim then clicked the given link on Facebook whereby she was informed to follow the instructions of sending money to a given phone number, whereby she will be able to obtain a Certificate of Ownership upon the receipt of an activation fee, where she will then receive a $17,000 grant.
The victim remitted the $500 which was later allegedly withdrawn by the 25-year-old accused.
The two will be produced at the Nadi Magistrates Court today.
