AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A 32-year-old woman has been charged in Washington County, accused of scamming hundreds in her memento business.
Destiny Danyell Magoon was charged with twelve counts of felony theft by deception on April 30.
Magoon allegedly operated a telemarketing business that offered to create mementos for customers. Authorities say customers mailed “irreplaceable items of deceased loved ones.”
However, the sheriff’s office says the customers never received the product or the items returned.
Officials say these charges stem from “numerous complaints the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division received.”
The sheriff’s office says there are over 200 victims from 25 states.
“I urge anyone who believes they may have been a victim of this scam to come forward and contact our sheriff’s office. We are committed to pursuing justice for all those affected by this deceitful scheme,” Sheriff Joel Cochran said in the news release.
