A 40-year-old man who admitted to defrauding several people of more than $30,000 in connection with a Facebook Marketplace scam was yesterday remanded to prison ahead of his sentencing next month.
Shane Mackey, aka “Master Mind”, stood before Magistrate Kendra Kelly charged with nine counts of fraud and one count of attempted fraud for actions he was accused of committing between August and October.
He is accused of defrauding Pleshette Mackey of $5,500 cash between September and October; Angelique Cartwright-Stuart of $2,200 between September 24 and September 25; Wayde Collins of $6,200 between August 3 and August 31; Roderick Carey of $5,000 on August 26; Darvin Russell of $3,000 on September 17; Jillian Edgecombe of $6,250 between August 17 and August 18 and Ali Zarazek of $4,250 on August 5.
Officers also allege that Mackey tried to defraud Pleshette Mackey of another $1,800 on October 8.
Mackey pleaded guilty to all of the charges and the case was adjourned to December 13 for sentencing.
He was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services in the meantime.
