The defendant was charged with five counts of fraud under $5,000 arising from fraudulent credit card transactions at a Telus retail store.
The Crown alleged the defendant, a sales representative, knowingly processed fraudulent transactions with the defendant's high school acquaintance.
The defendant claimed she was merely providing customer service and did not know the credit cards were fraudulent until a phone call on August 28, 2011.
The court found the defendant's written statement to the loss prevention officer was voluntary and reliable, rejected her trial testimony as fabrication, and found she had actual knowledge of the fraudulent nature of the transactions based on incriminating text messages, the circumstances of the purchases, and her own confession.
The defendant was convicted on all counts.
