Woman accused of selling negative COVID-19 test results to travelers at Salt Lake City Int'l Airport
Salt Lake City resident Linda Tufui Toli, 28, now faces one count of wire fraud for her involvement in the scheme.Documents explain that from July 2021 through at least September, Toli intercepted calls from travelers trying to schedule a COVID-19 test from her then employer,"XpresCheck," which has a location at the airport for people who need proof of a negative test in order to travel to places with restrictions, such as Hawaii.
After intercepting a call from a customer, Toli allegedly canceled appointments through"XpresCheck" and falsely told travelers they only needed a letter in order to travel to their destination. Toli then arranged for the"travelers to purchase from her what she knew to be counterfeit negative COVID-19 test results, instead of obtaining legitimate COVID tests from XpresCheck," documents explain.
She would request they pay for the test by sending money to her personal Cash App or her husband's Venmo account and charged anywhere from $200 to $250 per fake test result.
