A fraudster has been jailed for 16 months after he conned more than £75,000 in bogus travel insurance claims.
Joshua Moorcroft appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday after pleading guilty to 15 counts of fraud by false representation at an earlier hearing. Moorcroft made 15 claims with six different insurance companies for missed or cancelled travel that he never actually booked.
Moorcroft, of Moss Gate Road, Liverpool invented reasons for why he was unable to catch the flights to claim huge sums of cash. In October 2019, Moorcroft took out a multi-trip worldwide travel insurance policy in and submitted a claim for a missed flight from Manchester to New York just nine days later.
