A "despicable" fraudster led his 80-year-old victim to cash machines 150 times in order to steal more than £50,000 from him.
Serial scammer Andrew Evans posed as a campervan salesman and claimed that he was taking the regular payments to go towards a vehicle which he never provided. The pensioner was left unable to afford to heat his home as a result.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Friday, that the 55-year-old had worked at ES Hartley Motorhomes in Ellesmere Port but was dismissed in October 2019 after he was suspected of stealing customers' deposits and other monies. During the course of his employment, he had sold a £28,000 Volkswagen campervan to Brian Langton.
