Police: Idaho woman stole money using scam on essential oil Facebook page

as declared in TWIN FALLS, Idaho — A Twin Falls woman is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from strangers on the internet using a ruse on Facebook. The woman was planning to attend a training conference for the essential oils company DoTerra, she said, and Meyer posted on a DoTerra Facebook page that she had reserved a block of hotel rooms for the conference. The woman said that after she paid Meyer using money transfer app Venmo, she contacted the hotel and learned that Meyer had canceled the reservation without paying for the room. When she asked Meyer for her money back, court records said, Meyer said she would return the money but never did. Meyer said she had paid several hundred dollars back to some of the people, but no longer had any of the other money, according to the affidavit.
