Alleged female fraudster on $550,000 bail

Oct 02, 2010 News

Thirty-two year-old Rhonda Warde, of 30 Howes Street, Charlestown, was on Thursday placed on $550,000 bail after her court appearance before Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
It is alleged that Warde, between September 1 and September 24, last, with intent to defraud, conspired with person or persons unknown to forge one passport in the name of Jacquelyn Graham.
A second charge read that Warde, on September 24, with the intent to defraud, obtained the sum of $2 million from Sherri Persaud, after pretending that she was the transported owner of a plot of land.
Her lawyer Patrice Henry, in a bail application said that his client sported an unblemished record prior this case. The lawyer explained that the $2 million mentioned in the second charge is in the process of being resolved in the Full Court.
Police Prosecutor Stephen Telford told the court that Warde got the money from Persaud as part-payment for a plot of land. The court was told that Warde pretended to be someone by the name of “Jacquelyn Graham” who was said to be the transported owner.
Telford further told the court that Warde made a second attempt to get money from Persaud who became suspicious.
The woman later made a report to the police, who in turn started their investigations and discovered the fraud.
Checks were made at the Central Immigration Office where officers discovered that the passport was a fake.
The prosecutor did not oppose bail and even asked for it to be granted in a reasonable sum.
The woman is expected to make her next court appearance on November 3.
