St. James Woman Arrested for Job Scam in Cayman Islands
Criminal Suspects: Arrests Made in St. James And St. Andrew. Detectives in St. James, Jamaica, charged a pharmacy technician who the complainant accused of deception. He allegedly coerced a woman into paying over $270,000. The payment was for a job opportunity in the Cayman Islands that never materialized.
Criminal suspect Kadeane Swaby, 29, of West Gate Hills, St. James, faces charges of larceny by trickery. These charges are related to the employment scam that took place between April 2023 and September 21, 2024.
According to the Montego Bay Police, in 2023, Swaby convinced the complainant. She assured the complainant that her uncle would guarantee her a job in the Cayman Islands.
The woman initially provided Swaby with her passport and $18,000. This was to start the hiring process. She then added $255,000 to secure the position.
After some time passed without any updates about the job, the woman sought clarification and received many excuses from Swaby.
Similarly, after persistent concern, she reached out to Swaby’s uncle through a social networking platform. She discovered he was unaware of any arrangement. He had not provided any employment.
Realizing she had been deceived, the woman confronted Swaby, who promised to refund her by September 21, 2024. When the woman did not get her refund, she reported the incident to the police.
The Criminal suspect was apprehended on March 31 after the complainant identified her to law enforcement.
Law enforcement charged her on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
Law enforcement has yet to decide on Swaby’s court appearance date.
