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.
It is claimed that on August 14, 2023, the accused tricked the victim into giving him $347 by claiming he had mistakenly sent her a one-time PIN (OTP) code. Following this, the victim shared her OTP, allowing the accused to withdraw the funds from her account.
The Fiji Police MPaisa Task Force has charged the man with one count of obtaining a financial advantage through deception.
