A 35-year-old man is set to appear in Suva Magistrates Court today after being charged with allegedly fraudulently obtaining over $300 from a member of the public through a mobile money transfer application.
The incident reportedly took place on August 14, 2023, when the accused claimed he had mistakenly sent a one-time pin code to the victim. Believing his story, the victim provided her one-time pin, allowing the accused to access and transfer $347 from her account.
The Fiji Police M-PAiSA Task Force has since charged the individual with one count of obtaining a financial advantage through deception, and he will be presented in court today.
