A woman who pretended to be pregnant to con a couple in a £10,000 surrogacy scam has walked free from court. Louise Kimmet lied to Gordon and Susan Kennedy leading to them handing over cash.
The 32-year-old, of Glasgow's Cranhill, met the Kennedys via an online surrogacy forum. Kimmet advertised her services as a surrogate to "help a family" and befriended the Kennedys.
Kimmet and the Kennedys settled on a fee of £10,000 for her to provide surrogate services. But, she received an initial £1,000 for "ongoing expenses."
