The Pitt County Sheriff’s Office says a Farmville woman was arrested after duping three victims in an elaborate fraud scheme.
Deputies say in September 2014, detectives began investigating a fraud tip out of Wilmington.
Through their investigation, they say the offender was identified as Heather Dawn Taylor, 39 of Farmville.
Detectives say Taylor received two checks from the first victim in Wilmington for the purchase of Papperiza Jewelry. Taylor then gave those account numbers to a second victim who Taylor said was her mother’s account.
