Sydney Mother-Daughter Duo Arrested in $46 Million 'Ghost Car' Scam

Sydney Mother-Daughter Duo Arrested in $46 Million 'Ghost Car' Scam

Imagine two people, a mom and her daughter, in Sydney, Australia, who pretended to be very helpful.

The mom even said she was a fortune teller who could see a bright future for people.

They convinced people, mostly from Vietnam, to take out big loans.

They told them a rich person would help them out later.

But instead of helping, they used this money for a scam.

They tricked banks into giving them money for fake 'ghost cars' that didn't exist.

This whole thing is called a 'ghost car' scam.

Police caught them in their fancy house with lots of money, gold, and designer bags.

They were part of a big group doing these scams, and police have caught many others and taken back a lot of stolen money and fancy things.
