A North Carolina woman has been found guilty of wire fraud after authorities found out she exploited a glitch on home shopping site QVC.com.
According to the charges, 33-year-old Quantina Moore-Perry ordered a total of more than 1800 items from the online store from March 2005 and November 2005, but did not pay for them. She found a glitch where she would place an order, cancel it at a specific time, and not get charged. The order would still be sent to her. She then sold the items on eBayay.
She was said to have received more than $412,000 worth of goods over the 8-month period. QVC was tipped off by people who bought the goods from her on eBay, who expressed concerns when they noticed all the items had QVC packing.
Moore-Perry pleaded guilty to the crime in federal court and agreed to give back the total cash amount of the illegitimately received items. She was released on bail pending sentencing.
