🚨 Fraudster Alert 🚨
Meet Yasmin Barrett, a former care home manager who found herself in hot water after being caught red-handed with fraudulent activities. 🌊💳 Under investigation for stealing £400 from an elderly woman’s bank account for her personal Amazon shopping spree, including a fancy new rug and a replacement driving licence – talk about shopping with someone else’s dime! 🛒🧾
But wait, it doesn’t stop there! In a bold move, Yasmin applied for a new job and cheekily provided a fake reference. She claimed solid credentials while conveniently omitting her ongoing fraud investigation in the job application process. 🤫📄
Her crafty plan involved listing a reference linked to, surprise surprise, her own mobile number. One curious managing director of Ty Caredig children’s care home, Jonathan Freeman, noticed something was fishy when he tried to verify her reference. 📞❓ Emails and phone calls later, it was revealed the so-called referee was her niece with a fake alias! 🕵️♂️
In court, Yasmin pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud by misrepresentation. With an element of sophistication in her deceptive tactics, she narrowly avoided jail. Instead, Yasmin received a suspended sentence and must complete community service. ⚖️🔨
