A MELBOURNE woman has been charged after allegedly attempting to claim a $10,000 bereavement payout from the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund by falsely claiming her father had been killed in the Black Saturday bushfires.
The 31-year-old from Sunshine, in Melbourne’s northwest, was arrested and charged by detectives from the Melbourne Crime Investigation Unit last night, for attempting to obtain property by deception.
Her $10,000 claim was rejected after employees of the Department of Human Services realised the woman had no relation to the deceased man she was claiming was her father.
