Sunshine Coast woman charged with fraud after allegedly luring desperate renters to pay for a fake rental home
A woman on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast has been charged with fraud and forgery after she allegedly preyed on vulnerable people desperate to secure a rental property.
Key points:
- Police alleged the woman obtained about $10,000 each time from several victims
- They said the woman once rented the Ilkley property, but falsely claimed to own it
- A Palmwoods woman has been charged with eight fraud and forgery offences
It is alleged Patricia Anne McIntyre, 50, convinced people to pay thousands of dollars in advance to secure a lease for a faked rental.
Queensland police said Ms McIntyre, from Palmwoods, used a false name to advertise an Ilkley property online, after seeing people’s desperate pleas for rental housing on social media.
