...Williamson also challenges the sentence she received on the scheming to *881 defraud conviction. Williamson contends that the trial court erred when it sentenced her under the Criminal Punishment Code. Because a scheme to defraud is a true continuing offense, Williamson’s sentence is controlled by section 921.0027, Florida Statutes (2000), which applies to felonies committed on or after October 1, 1998, 1 and provides that felonies with continuing dates of enterprise are to be sentenced under the sentencing laws in effect on the beginning date of the criminal activity....
...Because Williamson’s offense is a true continuing offense, the date of her last overt act is considered to be the date of offense. Young v. Moore, 820 So.2d 901 , 903 n. 4 (Fla.2002). That date is October 31, 2000, which is "on or after October 1, 1998.” Thus, section 921.0027 applies.
