Businessman charged with obtaining money through false pretense
KINGSTON, Jamaica — A 26-year-old businessman was charged with obtaining money by means of false pretence after a woman made reports of a failed business transaction that occurred between October 2022 and April 6, 2023.
He has been identified as Akeem Adamson of Grove Park Avenue, Kingston 8.
According to the Montego Bay Police, the woman requested Adamson’s assistance in purchasing a vehicle, and the agreed sum was paid to him.
The vehicle was reportedly not delivered as promised which led to the woman requesting a refund.
She then proceeded to file a report with the police after the money was not returned and an investigation was launched.
Adamson was taken into custody and charged on Friday, January 5.
His court date is being finalised.
