A 35-year-old man is set to appear in the Suva Magistrates Court today, facing charges for allegedly fraudulently obtaining over $300 from a member of the public through a mobile money transfer application.
The incident reportedly occurred on August 14, 2023, when the accused deceived the victim into believing he had accidentally sent a one-time pin code. Following this, the victim shared her OTP, allowing the accused to transfer $347 from her account.
The M-PAiSA Task Force of the Fiji Police has charged the man with one count of obtaining a financial advantage by deception, and he will be brought before the Suva Magistrates Court today.
