Montego Bay, St. James – A Montego Bay businessman has been arrested and charged with defrauding a client of over $800,000.
Dominic Shaw, 38, of Unity Hall, is facing two counts of obtaining money by false pretence.
The charges stem from an incident in 2024 where Shaw allegedly solicited $810,840 from a client under the pretense of booking reservations at two all-inclusive resorts.
However, Shaw allegedly failed to fulfill his obligations, pocketing the funds for his own use.
Following an investigation by detectives from the St. Catherine South Criminal Investigation Branch, Shaw was arrested and subsequently charged.
His court date is yet to be finalized.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of due diligence when conducting financial transactions.
