A 32-year-old Zimbabwean woman, Tendai Moyo, who has been living in Dallas, Texas, has been arrested in connection with a massive credit card fraud case that has shocked the Zimbabwean community in the United States.
According to U.S. authorities, Moyo is accused of stealing credit card information and using it to make luxury purchases worth over $85,000. Items included high-end electronics, designer clothing, and even attempts to book international travel.
Investigators say the scheme had been running for months before she was caught, after a suspicious transaction triggered a deeper review by the bank’s fraud detection system.
Moyo now faces several charges, including wire fraud, identity theft, and possession of stolen financial data. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison and possible deportation back to Zimbabwe.
