A FORMER Swan Hill serial conwoman who faked cancer has been hit with more jail time over new lies.
Hanna Dickinson, 28, was sentenced to four months in prison in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to making a false document.
The court heard Dickinson used a work computer and faked a reference from her manager, which was used in court without the knowledge of her employer, HenderCare.
Dickinson’s manager was unaware that a reference with her name on it was used in a court plea on February 26 last year. The plea related to Dickinson engaging in identify theft to get a car loan.
Dickinson is serving 12 months’ jail for falsely telling Centrelink she had cancer and claiming more than $100,000 through the disability support pension.
She was previously sentenced in 2018 to a two-year community corrections order for fundraising $41,770 from friends and family, some from Swan Hill, who believed the money would be spent on life-saving cancer treatments.
Dickinson did not have cancer and spent the money on holidays and entertainment.
She was also fined $1500 after pleading guilty to a fraud charge for using a then-friend’s email to buy an iPhone contract valued at $2568 in November 2018.
