A 34-year-old man will appear in the Labasa Magistrates Court today charged with two counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception.
Police say the accused is alleged to have, during the months of August and September 2023, dishonestly obtained close to $1,000 from two victims.
They say the victims on both occasions received Viber messages claiming to be from their managers, asking for a certain amount of money to be sent via mobile money transfer.
The two victims later discovered the messages to be fake.
