You may remember her story back in February when Ana Toro first appeared on Sunup on 7 to talk about how she was being framed by an unknown facebook scammer using a profile for Minister of Natural Resources, Cordel Hyde. She said the scammer was using the account to scam people out of money by using her bank account to collect the funds.
The San Pedro resident was picked up and charged shortly after a woman named Natalie Gotoy filed a report. Gotoy stated that she deposited money into Toro's account at the instruction of the fake Cordel Hyde profile, only to realize that she had been scammed.
Toro was charged with Theft and was set to appear in court back in August to settle a payment agreement with Gotoy but failed to do so. Today she appeared before magistrate Lois Young and handed over the remaining $200 she owed to Gotoy out of the $500 she had obtained from her. Toro was to stand trial for theft but since she returned the money the court concluded the case and her charge was dismissed.
