The case that finally got Romy Durbin criminal charges happened when Romy Durbin decided to start an insurance business. She told multiple friends she was buying a well-established insurance firm here in town.
Meanwhile, at this same time, Romy was renting a house in Eugene, Oregon. This house was previously rented by someone that owned a non-profit in Eugene. Well, this non-profit accidently had their checks sent to the house Romy was living at and guess what Romy did? She forged the checks for THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
Then, with all this money she told friends was from a business loan, she convinced three friends to work for her- one of them leaving the job she already had.
Then, she enlisted two other people from her high school to make her website and do her insurance companies social media work.
Months went by and nobody was getting paid- so everyone began comparing notes and talking and it kind of hit everyone at once- she was lying and this was SERIOUS FRAUD. Three people took it to the police, and they began investigating her and ultimately charging Romy Durbin. After it was all said and one, Romy Durbin had 8 felony convictions.
