BORAS, Sweden, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- A Swedish woman who had previously been sent to prison for online fraud has returned to her old ways using an almost identical technique, a prosecutor said.
The woman was sentenced in April to 18 months after being convicted in Boras District Court, the Swedish news agency TT reported. She was also ordered to pay 282,000 kroner (about $35,000) in restitution.
Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist told the newspaper Boras Tidning two more men have come forward with stories that the woman told them she needed money. She allegedly claimed falsely to have a daughter with leukemia and to be pursued by organized crime.
The 31-year-old also allegedly sent her victims a picture of Cori Nadine, a U.S. model who has appeared in Playboy magazine, saying she was the woman in the photograph.
