Glasgow Gumtree scammer's £11k con using dead partner's car was to 'help pay for his funeral'

A Glasgow Gumtree scammer conned a couple couple out of £11,000 after selling them her dead partner's mobility car - as she 'had to pay for his funeral'.

Gemma McGregor's partner Matt Quinn died of cancer. Mr Quinn used a mobility car and, after his passing, McGregor put an advert for the vehicle on Gumtree; an online buying and selling platform.

McGregor, 32, claimed she owned the car. John and Alison Harris responded to the advert and forked out £11,00 for the vehicle. The motor was in fact owned by Motability UK who had leased it to Mr Quinn - not McGregor.
