A 35-year-old man is set to appear in Suva Magistrates Court today, facing charges for allegedly fraudulently acquiring 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 informed the victim that he had unintentionally sent her a one-time PIN (OTP) code. The victim then shared her OTP, allowing the accused to transfer $347 from her account.
The Fiji Police MPaisa Task Force has charged the man with one count of obtaining financial advantage by deception.
