A Mother raising funds to buy her children Christmas presents sold a non-existent carton of Homer Simpson's favourite brew, Duff beer, three times on eBay.
Tara Edith Woodford, 28, pleaded guilty in the Mackay Magistrates' Court to three charges of dishonestly gaining money by false pretences. Police prosecutor Gavin Burnett told the court Woodford was paid a total of $1951 by three buyers after advertising the bogus carton of Duff beer on eBay.
Duff beer is the brew enjoyed by Homer Simpson in the animated US television series The Simpsons.
Australian breweries released versions of Duff until The Simpsons creators and the 20th Century Fox Film Corporation took legal action.
Woodford was placed on probation for 18 months and she was ordered to reimburse the money and have counselling.
