NSW Police said detectives from the State Crime Command’s Cybercrime Squad charged the women, both aged 30, following an investigation into money laundering activities using BEC scams under Strike Force Belltree.
NSW Police will allege in court that the women sent a fraudulent email claiming to be from a Sydney-based university requesting payment of almost $322,000 from an unnamed business.
Police will allege that the other woman altered invoices and sent fraudulent emails to several interstate businesses, which resulted in just over $186,000 being transferred to her accounts.
