Conman posing as cruise ship captain scammed secret boyfriend's family out of £320k

A conman swindled £320,000 from family and friends of a boyfriend in fake holiday deals telling them he was a cruise ship captain - while at the same time having a wife and children.

Jody Oliver led two separate "fantasy lives", telling his wife he was a successful businessman and living with her during the week before seeing his partner – a man he had met on a dating website - at the weekends using the name Jonathan.

He told his wife he needed to travel abroad regularly for work and he told his partner he worked for Carnival – the parent company of P&O – as a cruise ship captain, reported WalesOnline.
