40-Yr-Old Woman Denies Selling Car Five Times
In Magistrates Court this morning [Sept 24] 40-year-old Wendy Catherine Francis of Devonshire denied five charges involving allegations of selling a car and pocketing the proceeds without actually giving over the car.
The allegations were that between October 2011 and September 2012 — each time purporting to be a person named Nicole Simons — Ms Francis had sold the same car five times via an online classifieds website.
Ms Francis was alleged to have posed as Nicole Simons, sold the car for $1,000 and pocketed the money. She was also alleged to have performed the same deception on four other occasions pocketing $500, $2,005, $4,000 and $4,500.
The total alleged to have been obtained by deception was $12,005.
Ms Francis was given a trial date of 29th October 2012 and was remanded into custody until her trial. Hearing that she was to be remanded, Ms Francis asked Senior Magistrate Archie Warner: “Can I get one of those electronic monitoring devices?”
The Senior Magistrate did not accede to her request.

how can this even be possible.people must be really stupid to give over money before getting the car.
@smh, this is the reason why we Bermudians are not thought of as honest and upstanding. We’ve become like the rest of the world. I bet that the victims will never trust a Bermudian again
About time Archie got tough. Want an electronic monitoring device? Eh-NO!
I certainly hope these 5 people were smart enough to sign agreements before handing over any money if not it looks like 5 people allegedly made charitable donations to the Wendy Catherine Francis fight against the recession fund. Even if she was allegedly using a false name that’s even more charges to add. Solution for convicted scam artists, liquidate everything they own and divide it between the victims, then you would simply have to be brain dead to try it and eberybody wins.
4 real
Well i’ll be damn her again?????? she dont take a damn break
OMG… I was buying the same car!!
This HEFFA (yes HEFFA) needs some serious counseling or a serious slap, put this name in any paper shoot google her name and see what pops up. She has been given chance after chance after chance after chance after chance. Lock her up if convicted and enforce some help on/for her. Dang it she has kids who I hope she has not been raising to be this vindictive mean and dishonest! Why would she need a monitoring device if she is remanded? She isn’t slick been there done that so many times she knows if she plays the I know I have a problem card they will be lenient. SMDH so DISGUSTED WITH YOU WENDY how many chances do you think you deserve. You have never NEVER gotten away with your random foolishness and yet you continue to try. Come out of jail and have some of the best jobs nice car nice clothes and still you have to do this!!?? It’s definitely a problem a SERIOUS problem. I Pray for your kids all the embarrassment and abuse they will endure because of your sick callous ways! SMDH
But she is alleged to have sold it for 5 different prices that is what gets me…… lofl im no more good
She would make a mighty fine realtor.

I guess she would have tried to sell the monitoring device too! LOL LOL LOL

I have my head all the way back LAUGHING OUT LOUD…
I’m at work …. wish I didn’t look at you link … I can’t stop laughing …. and I can’t do it quietly ….
That was fricking HILARIOUS and so fitting! She needs to see that!!!
Well I Never…..Everybody got a hustle…..
So she has to stay locked up but those who are involved in a serious crime get out on bail…. REALLY????????????????????????????????? OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She allegedly STOLE FIVE TIMES at least from five people and she is a repeat offender from what I am made to understand. This is not a victimless crime! If those people were looking to buy an inexpensive second hand car, chances are its because they didn’t have money to spare. If you think this isn’t serious. wait til it happens to you or your family member. Lock her up!
Clearly she doesn’t need any more electronic devices, computers or otherwise.
Clearly,she has no boundaries .
This chick has issues. Whether it selling puppies over and over or this damn car, she flipping doesn’t stop! Good on you Archie for keeping her in custody! She is a public nuisance!!!
This is a serious matter, but I find it hilarious!
I agree. It does sound like nice work if you can get it…lol
Just why my mind just jumps out the box and see’s this way i have no idea. it is serious though….however it reminded me of the bie who escaped from court and ran dawn the road…. it just seems like it triggers a glee response ….
I am inclined to agree with Mountbatten too, the young lady is a “Free Spirit” …lol
He should have tasered her right then and there!!! “Take that for an electronic device!”
thats just fun-ney
Ha ! ha! Nice one but you forgot, “right between the eyes”.
And her Facebook profile pic says “Trust Nobody”…ya got that right!
Lawd…have Mercy !
WTH, this is FUNNY, one thing you got to give her some points cause she allegedly keeps going and nothing holds her down… Ridiculous serious I hope these 5 people get their money back but they must feel stupid and pissed off.
If guilty, the judge should sentence her 5 times!!!!!!!
quantitative easing…on a car!
Am I the only one who noticed that October 2012 hasn’t even happened yet.
LOL.
And as for this lady. She is something else. 5 TIMES Though. I don’t understand how that’s possible.
I’m one of those consumers who need to know EVERYTHING.
Please go back and read it again.
Thsi is he same lady that trys to sell dogs too ck her house cause the husband may try to sell them now.
just feel bad for her mother and farther cause her farther is not so well and this must make him feel worst and they have try to help her for years…
cut her hands off
Honestly, she has a serious problem. Too meet her you think she is genuine.. I also was planning to buy this car… I went through HELL with this lady! I could not stop thinking about her poor little girls. Anyway my prayers go out to her family but she gets what she deserves…
I was planning on buying this car also, actually I did. I went through HELL too! Thankfully I got my money back. And likewise, all I could think about was those little girls. What example is she teaching her children? At the end of the ordeal, all I could say to her was I’ll be praying for you”
Its so sad!!
Was this the green car on emoo???
No it was a black nissan march
I just don’t know how people like this get away with stuff like this. They should have a public list of names of people who do these type of things. Justice needs to be served…..
U digust me Wendy. Not because you need help, but because your actions deeply impact your son and daughters. At what point do u hit bottom? When one turns out to be like you? U are pathetic!
but yet you’ll smile in her face should she be released! FED DE FAT UP WITH PPL LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!
The most common reason people embezzle or commit fraud is because they believe that they are entitled to it. One example is someone who embezzled from a casino. She was angry that the casino stopped paying for her parking and felt she was entitled to be reimbursed for her parking expenses. So at first she took just enough to cover them. But once she saw how easy it was, she just kept taking more and more…………SENTENCE HER TO JAIL and MAKE SURE she gets PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT FOR LIFE!!!
