REAL NEWS – 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.

Wow this is madness. Anyone that don’t know how to purchase a vehicle on line link me up. I will sit with you and we can do it together, it’s not that hard. I ordered my own vehicle and never had any problems. Call me at 782 5197 or WhatsApp me. I think it horrible when you give someone your hard earned money to purchase you something and they do things like this. It’s not nice. Ordering a vehicle is not hard, it’s not Rocket science. There are some horrible heartless people in these streets. People be careful who you trust.
And then y’all wonder why some pple go missing or killed just so. Taking people hard earned money and no justice to get it back ok
WHY COULDN’T YOU GO ONLINE AND PURCHASE THE VEHICLE YOURSELF? YOU GIVE $63,000 TO A MAN THAT’S NOT EVEN A CAR DEALERSHIP.
THINK PEOPLE, THINK , BEFORE YOU DEPART FROM YOUR MONEY, AND ANYTHING AT ALL THAT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE PROBABLY IS.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PAY SOMEONE TO GET YOU A DUTY FREE, COULDN’T YOU SEEK THAT DUTY FREE YOURSELF THE LEGAL WAY. THAT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE AN UNDERHAND,SHADY ILLEGAL DEAL OF OB TAINING A DUTY FREE UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.
