A man in his 40s from Sigatoka has been charged by the Fiji Police Cyber Task Force for allegedly obtaining $10,000 through a fake online investment scheme.
It is alleged that between May and June 2023, the man received the money from the victim as payment for the supposed investment.
Police say a complaint was filed at the Rakiraki Police Station after the victim was unable to reach the accused despite multiple attempts to get updates on the investment.
The accused has been charged with two counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception and one count of possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime.
He is scheduled to appear in the Sigatoka Magistrates Court today.
