The first man eventually reported Zakhour to police in November 2018 after she sent him 240 emails threatening his ex-wife, children and even his mother.ĭetectives swooped on Zakhour after one of her victims arranged to meet up with her at a restaurant. Zakhour also told the victim to take money out of his super and if he didn't, workers would 'come to Melbourne and do something to him and his family'. 'Tell your ex-wife you will kill yourself if she doesn't give you the money,' she said. He initially transferred her $200,000 but was forced to give her more after Zakhour said 'the employees would find him and his family and harm them'. She also gifted him with a fake Rolex to assure him that what she was doing wasn't a 'scam'. Zakhour managed to swindle $728,700 from her first victim after promising him a 300 per cent return for his investment into the fake farm. Zakhour said the sentencing judge had placed 'too much emphasis' on the fact that she had met the victims off Tinder and refuted his assertion that she had used Tinder as a 'hunting ground to seek and exploit' people for their money
