Edinburgh locals are being targeted in a slick scam involving a fake craft affair at a local church, Edinburgh Live can reveal.
Online fraudsters selling plots at the bogus event at St Martin of Tours Episcopal Church in Dalry Road to unsuspecting stallholders for £50 a pop. But church leaders have confirmed no such event exists and police have been called in.
The phantom three-day craft fair was publicly promoted on social media and was supposedly to be held at the church next month from April 21 to 23.
