Police have released the mug shot of a man who used a dating app to scam a woman out of £150,000. Frank Adozi, of Kneeton Vale, Sherwood, used a fake profile on dating website "Our Time" of a middle-aged oil rig worker in search of love.
However, the 32-year-old, who was in fact a gay penniless asylum seeker, was lying. Using the false name Mark McCarthy, he was also attracting women to give him their cash on Tinder and other online sites and amassed a further £40,000 from them.
It happened 14 months after he was released from his last sentence of four-and-half years for perverting the course of justice and two frauds, where he set up a false ID and exploited others. His main victim, who wishes to remain anonoymous, met him on "Our Time" after her relationship ended.
