A 35-year-old man is set to appear in the Suva Magistrates Court today facing charges for allegedly fraudulently acquiring over $300 from a member of the public through a mobile money transfer application.
On August 14, 2023, the accused reportedly told the victim that he had accidentally sent her a one-time pin code (OTP). The victim then shared her OTP with him, which allowed the accused to transfer $347 from her account.
The Fiji Police M-PAiSA Task Force has charged the man with one count of obtaining financial advantage by deception, and he will be presented in court today.
