Two people are facing charges following an investigation by the Fiji Police Anti-Scam Task Force into an alleged online investment scam.

Police allege the pair received money on 20 November 2025 that was linked to an investment scheme promoted through a Facebook account called “Digital Lifestyle”.

According to police, the victim came across an advertisement on the account offering a $250 return after an initial investment of $50.

The victim is alleged to have first transferred $50 before making a second payment of $200. Police allege the money was subsequently used by the two accused.

The accused, aged 50 and 48, have each been charged with one count of Obtaining Financial Advantage.

They are scheduled to appear at the Suva Magistrates Court today.
