One woman was taken into police custody after allegedly scamming a number of people out of money and passports. She has since been released by police due to reported lack of evidence. The alleged con artist targeted people with stories about a sick daughter or other family, soliciting money for medical care. One woman has come forward saying that she gave the woman hundreds of dollars after she claimed that her daughter was hospitalized and needed urgent surgery. The woman is also alleged to have scammed a number of people in Dennery, after promising to link them to jobs in Martinique. She lured them in with promises that they could earn as much 3000 Euros a month doing jobs such as construction and farming, housekeeping and cooking. Residents reportedly made payments of a little over 400 dollars and handed over their passports to the woman.
