NASSAU – Accused con artist Margaret McIntosh has been denied bail.
Prosecutors say McIntosh used different scams on her victims.
In one instance, McIntosh was allegedly paid $5,750 to import a car that she never produced.
McIntosh’s victim allegedly gave her the money in November 2019. But up to this day, she never delivered.
And prosecutors allege that McIntosh scammed a woman out of $2,100 in a rent scam after advertising an apartment she didn’t own.
McIntosh was charged with stealing by reason of service and fraud by false pretenses.
She pleaded guilty to the charges at her arraignment before Magistrate Ambrose Armbrister on Friday.
However, the magistrate entered not guilty pleas after she didn’t accept the prosecution’s summary.
As a result, Magistrate Armbrister set the matters for trial on February 3.
McIntosh was remanded because the magistrate lacks jurisdiction to consider bail for the offenses. She was advised of her right to seek bail in the Supreme Court.
