Three individuals are scheduled to appear at the Sigatoka Magistrates Court today, facing charges of obtaining financial advantage through deceptive practices.

In the first case, a 54-year-old woman is accused of accepting $100 that was wrongly sent to her by a victim. She allegedly transferred this sum to a second accused, a 35-year-old woman, who then withdrew the funds. Both women reside in Korotogo, Sigatoka, and will be presented in court today.

In a separate case, a 45-year-old man from Olosara, Sigatoka, faces allegations of dishonestly acquiring $400 from a member of the public through a mobile money transfer app on two occasions in November 2022. The man reportedly promised the victim a return of $1500 as part of an investment scheme but subsequently severed all communication after receiving the money. He has been charged with two counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception.
