The request was completed, but when the victim realised she had not been paid, it came to light that the original email was a fraud.

Scam watch
Police have issued a scam watch warning after a member of the community was contacted several times by someone claiming to be an Australian Federal Police (AFP) Officer.
This caller stated someone has used the victim’s details at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney, and requested his personal information.
He called back again saying someone was accessing his bank accounts, but the victim was not defrauded.
