An Adelaide-based businesswoman, Sally Cooper, dubbed a "mumtrepreneur," has been quietly removed from the committee of the Kilburn Football and Cricket Club amid allegations that she defrauded several small business clients through her marketing firm, Elevated Digital Marketing. The Daily Mail reported that all parties involved in her club departure had signed non-disclosure agreements, and officials declined to comment, saying they wanted to "put the whole saga behind them." The case matters because it links a growing consumer-fraud scandal to a community sporting institution, raising questions about accountability and why police have reportedly been reluctant to pursue what they regard as a civil dispute.

Cooper was recently photographed gambling at a suburban pub before midday, angering alleged victims who say she owes them thousands of dollars in unpaid refunds. Since the story broke, further alleged victims across Australia have come forward, including NSW woman Sarah Dwyer, who says she paid $5,500 for a business plan, logo and website that were never satisfactorily delivered, and that Cooper sent a fake payment remittance when a refund was requested. South Australian police have declined to confirm whether complaints were made against Cooper, citing privacy, while Cooper reportedly retains an indirect club connection through her semi-retired footballer husband, Jarryd.
