A truckie with a reputation for seducing dozens of women online before conning them out of thousands of dollars could now face more than three years in prison.
David Maxwell Moore has earned himself the name 'Casanova Truckie' and yesterday pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $50,000 in multiple offences across Queensland.
At Gympie Magistrates Court, Magistrate Chris Callaghan said only a higher court could adequately punish him, and Moore has been remanded in custody to appear in Gympie District Court next year.

Mr Callaghan talked in particular of the damage caused to the vulnerable women who trusted him, and predicted a sentence of more than the three-year magistrates court maximum, The Gympie Times reports.
'Society needs to be protected. Vulnerable women need to be protected for a significant amount of time,' Mr Callaghan said.
The 'Casanova Truckie' allegedly stole the money in a series of nearly 40 offences which included multiple counts of theft, fraud, forgery, receiving and possessing tainted property and disqualified driving in southern Queensland.
Moore also pleaded guilty to misusing a phone service to menace, harass or offend and fraudulently falsifying a document.

A woman known as Jess told 9news earlier this year she was the latest victim of the truckie's alleged scam.
The grandmother-of-two thought she had hit the jackpot when she spotted Moore's profile on Plenty of Fish.
'He said he was looking for someone and I was exactly what he was looking for,' Jess said.
After initiating an online relationship, Jess said Moore began asking about her financial situation.
She claims he offered to refinance her home if she sent him $5000 as a brokerage fee, which she did.
The grandmother said it wasn't until she received a call from police saying they had arrested Moore that she realised the money was gone.
'I just thought it was too good to be true of course, like anybody would,' she said.
Moore's long list of offences also include stealing $7000 worth of equipment from his employer in Moonie and stealing jewellery and cash from a women he met online at a Surfers Paradise hotel room.

Other offences read to the court included those for stealing and using a fuel card at Arundel, dishonestly obtaining $9000 at One Mile, disqualified driving on six occasions on the Gold and Sunshine coasts, stealing two motorcycles and falsifying a Queensland Transport document amongst others.
To his long list of charges Moore simply repeated: 'I'm guilty your honour.'
Prosecutor Mick Phillips told the court there was 'quite a degree of planning in some of the fraud offences', and said police would seek $47,832.45 restitution on behalf of a number of the victims.
Moore also has more than 90 previous convictions, mostly in Victoria, and police told the court he had served significant periods of time in jail for dishonesty and disqualified driving offences.
