U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon on Thursday gave the Westmoreland County woman a break and sentenced her to two years of probation.

“I hope I don’t see you again,” the judge told her.

Moff, 59, of New Derry, pleaded guilty last year to mail fraud.

Between 2013 and 2016, she ordered merchandise from Victoria’s Secret using her husband’s account.

After the goods arrived, she called customer service and said she didn’t get the shipment, it was damaged or items were missing. Victoria’s Secret then either shipped her new merchandise or credited the account.

Victoria’s Secret finally called in U.S. postal inspectors, who set up a series of controlled deliveries. They took photos of all the items the company sent to Moff, then waited until she called to complain.

Prosecutors said Moff, who has a history of shoplifting and theft, pulled the same scam over and over, some 200 times in all. Assistant U.S. Attorney Shardul Desai said she cost the company $30,140.

Moff has four prior felonies in Westmoreland County for theft. She was on probation when she started ripping off Victoria’s Secret.
