Three persons report being scammed of sums ranging from $500 to $63,000 for services and goods they never received

Three cases of fraudulent conversion are being investigated, one in
which the victim paid for a duty-free concession, but reportedly
never received it, nor her money back.
 
Reports say the Herberts victim made a complaint to the Criminal
Investigations Department (CID), alleging that she had given a man
$500 in cash to obtain the concession on her behalf. 
 
However, up to the time of making the report last week, she had not
received the tax waiver or her money back. 
 
This offence reportedly occurred sometime in August of this year.

Meanwhile, a Villa man also made a report to the CID that he had
given US$6,500 to a Ffryes Estate man to purchase a vehicle for him
online; however, he had not received it up to the time of making the
report.
 
The victim reportedly has made numerous efforts to get the vehicle
or his money back, but to no avail. 
 
This offence reportedly occurred sometime between June and
September 2023.
 
In yet another incident, a Liberta resident complained to the
Department that he had given a fellow villager $63,000 to purchase
a truck for him online; and up to that time, he, too, had not received
the vehicle. 
 
This victim also has been unsuccessful in his attempts to get back his
money.
 
Reportedly this offence occurred in December 2022.
