Bad decision, but you would have to walk a mile in her shoes and you might have done the same.Obviously not a criminally minded person, in a bad place and got suckered in.

Hertz's auditors can't be that sloppy if they caught her, and I imagine they will be tightening up. And when De Berri comes out she's going to have a hard time finding even a bad job because she committed the cardinal sin of theft as a servant.

I'd love to work for Hertz. I'm sure I can take them for more than half a million given how sloppy there auditors are.

It's frustrating to see a stupid person like her with a relatively good job while I can't even get an interview.

And how easy it is to steal money from NZ companies! It's ridiculous...

I can't say I have any sympathy for this woman. She knew full well it was a crime to steal from her employers and being found out meant dismissal and a criminal record. It's as simple as that.

I doubt theres an ulterior motive. Its like when a person puts money into the pokie machines hoping for a big pay off.. and they start stealing from their employer or family to put more money into the machines.

And financial difficulty in her personal life is more than likely a result of behaviour like this.
She has a problem, and its criminal that she behaves as though she has been so hard done by when it is others that have been so hurt by her behaviour.

De Berri has a record for swindling people? This makes her falling for an Internet scam all the more astonishing. The swindler out-swindled or is there something ulterior afoot?

If Cambell Live had bothered to check, she has a pattern of swindling people -including her own family. She was NEVER a victim nor is she stupid.
I agree with "Pissed off" and "Deb".. this has been a long time coming for Jackie. Its her daughters I feel sorry for.. Nothing good in this for them.

Some people wonder why De Berri didn't arrange a loan with her family. This was probably because her family was struggling financially, which may also explain why she didn't discuss the details of the "inheritance" with them either and they were being asked for money. So she dipped into the till instead, thinking it would be a one-off which she would pay back. It seems incredible how people can fall for these scams, but I guess there are reasons why they do: greed, naivety, desperation for money, not wise to scammers, being emotionally or psychologically vulnerable, or the scammers being extremely clever at making themselves look genuine and keeping people hooked.

I get these sort of e-mails daily into my hotmail account. How stupid one can be to believe that they are genuine...? It's beyond me. May be the undoing is greed..?
