Warsaw Woman Arrested In Internet Fraud Case
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Complaints from more than 50 Ebay users across the country led to the arrest of a Warsaw woman on a warrant for theft.
Nikki Brindle, of White Wolf Designs, 2603 E. Pine Drive, was arrested Monday for fraudulently selling high-priced electronics over the Internet, Kosciusko County Detective Todd Sautter said. She is being held on $5,000 bond.
Reportedly, Brindle placed items for sale on Ebay, and after receiving payment, failed to send the item or issue a refund.
Purchasers allegedly were told their items would come in seven to10 weeks, then when they never came, were told Brindle's supplier was back-ordered.
Frustrated after waiting for items since early spring, some purchasers requested refunds and never got those, either. That's when the National White Collar Crime Center and the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department became involved.
The sheriff's department confiscated Brindle's computer and financial records and is investigating the complaints.
Despite Brindle's reported denial of fraud or theft, further charges are expected. [[In-content Ad]]
