The Fiji Police Force has charged a 51-year-old hotel worker of Sigatoka for Obtaining Financial Advantage.
It is believed that he dishonestly obtained $100.00 through the mobile money platform.
Police Investigation revealed that on the 21st of August, last year, the victim was scrolling through his Facebook account when he accepted a friend request from one Victoria Nice.
After a while, he received messages from the said new friend saying that if he invested $100.00, he would receive a profit of $3500.00.
The victim was convinced and sent the money to the mobile account provided.
The said money was then transferred to the accused's account, who later withdrew the money in Sigatoka.
The matter was reported at Navua Police Station.
The accused is in Police custody and will be produced at Sigatoka Magistrate Court today.
