Listen to this articleOSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) – An Oshkosh woman convicted of selling fake Facebook stock has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

Randy Stafford is one of the people Oleson scammed. He tells WLUK-TV she owes him $29,000. Stafford says prison will give Oleson some time to think about how her actions affected her victims.
