Dunkin' Donuts manager embezzles, loses money
January 7, 2009
Sun Journal (Auburn, Maine): A former Dunkin' Donuts manager in Auburn, Maine, has pled guilty to embezzling more than $32,000 from the store's daily cash deposits. She claims she lost most of the money as a result of an Internet scam in which she was contacted via e-mail by someone claiming to be having trouble claiming her inheritance.
At the e-mail's request, the former manager said she sent the stolen money as well as most of her savings to the woman after being promised 30 percent of the inheritance as a reward, a total of 3 million British pounds. The manager later tried to repay the store with a check that bounced.
