'Conveyancer' accused of multi-million dollar frauds

With all the supposed checks and balances supposedly in place, it's hard to imagine that this could still occur, as late as August 2018. I imagine that the properties in question didn't have any loans over them. It will be an interesting case to follow.

 

Relax, the cops are on to it!

Police officer deceived bank, councils, locksmiths in property scam, court documents allege

 

How could she ever have thought she could get away with any of that? What was her exit strategy? Crazy.

 

That's the think I don't get. Crimes like these are easy for the person in the right place to commit, but they leave a huge paper trail. It's incredibly easy to track down and successfully prosecute the offender once the crime is discovered.

 

I'm just dealing with the mess created by a NSW solicitor who ripped into the trust account affecting clients. Fortunately the NSW Law Society Fidelity Fund covers solicitors fraud. I believe each state has similar protection.

Not sure about conveyancers who dip into trust monies (eg client settlement proceeds). Terry ? What can you advise ?

 

If I read it correctly, she wasn't even a licensed conveyancer...
