Bahamas: Nurse accused of scamming coworker out of $200k
A 26-year-old nurse is accused of scamming a coworker out of $223,906.
In December 2017, Kaneisha Brown allegedly borrowed $2,696.16 from Tasheika Morley to assist with her sick sister’s medical expenses.
Several months later, Brown allegedly told Morley that her sister had died and that she’d left a large inheritance at the Royal Bank of Canada as thanks for helping with her medical bills.
However, she allegedly told Morley that she had to help with legal fees to get the money.
Between 2017 to March 2022, Morley allegedly gave Brown $223,906 for legal costs.
Brown appeared before Magistrate Shaka Serville yesterday, charged with seven counts of fraud by pretences concerning the scam.
She’s also accused of possession of several forged documents and giving them to Morley in furtherance of the fraud.
Brown allegedly possessed and uttered a forged letter from the Court of Appeal in Paul Callos and Randolph Dean, a forged letter from the judiciary in the names of Paul Callos and Randolph Dean, and a forged letter from RBC in the words of Mrs Johnson.
Brown is further accused of attempting to extort $500 from Morley on March 25, 2022.
She denied all charges and was granted $20,000 bail. Brown returns to court on July 27 for trial.
Prosecuting attorney Inspector Kenny Thompson appeared for the Crown, and Ian Cargill represented Brown.
