She used the stolen cards at chemists, pubs, petrol stations and on taxis.
Abdullah also stole mobile phones, drivers licences and even diamond rings during her crime sprees, court documents revealed.
The documents showed she targeted at least 16 people between August 2016 and September 2017.
For most of her transactions she used paypass and spent less than $100.
She was sentenced to 20 months jail in the Fremantle Magistrates Court in January after pleading guilty to over 100 charges.
In 2013, Abdullah was listed as one of the country’s most wanted people.
At the time she was wanted for breaching her parole and had prior convictions including reckless conduct endangering life and assault.
