TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A Tucson woman is in custody after authorities say they recovered dozens of fraudulently purchased items from her apartment.
Oro Valley police say 23-year-old Amanda Newman has been booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of one felony count of fraudulent schemes and artifices.
Police say they received two reports about unauthorized online purchases charged to the Oro Valley residents’ bank accounts recently.
Authorities say they served a search warrant at Newman’s apartment and recovered about 50 items that were fraudulently purchased.
Newman told authorities that she applied for a job online and received packing slips from an online source that police believe operates out of Russia.
She says she mailed out about 50 packages but never received any payment so she tried to sell the remaining items online.
