A 35-year-old man is set to appear in the Suva Magistrates Court today, facing charges for allegedly fraudulently acquiring over $300 through a mobile money transfer application.
The incident reportedly took place on August 14, 2023, when the accused informed the victim that he had mistakenly sent her a one-time PIN (OTP) code. Believing his claims, the victim provided her OTP, allowing the accused to successfully transfer $347 from her account.
In response to the incident, the Fiji Police MPaisa Task Force has charged the individual with one count of obtaining a financial advantage by deception.
