Three individuals are scheduled to appear in the Sigatoka Magistrates Court today to face charges related to allegations of obtaining financial advantages through deceptive practices.

In the first case, a 54-year-old woman is accused of receiving $100 that was mistakenly sent to her by the victim. It is alleged that she transferred the money to a second defendant, a 35-year-old woman, who subsequently withdrew the funds. Both women, who live in Korotogo, Sigatoka, are facing charges and will appear in court today.

In another case, a 45-year-old man from Olosara, Sigatoka, is charged with dishonestly obtaining $400 on two separate occasions in November 2022 from a member of the public using a mobile money transfer app. The man allegedly promised the victim a return of $1,500 as part of an investment opportunity but ceased all communication after receiving the funds. He has been charged with two counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception.
