A wanted fraudster has been preying on locals with an elaborate 'organic' vegetable delivery con, an Edinburgh Live investigation can reveal.
Mark Bullen, who is currently wanted by Kent Police after carrying out similar scams in the county, has been operating a fruit and vegetable delivery service in Edinburgh and the Lothians. One driver duped into working for his service, who said he was never paid for the work he did, told how Bullen snaps up veg from Tesco discount aisles before punting it to unsuspecting shoppers as organic produce from local farms.
Some buyers received one or two boxes before being completely ignored, while others received nothing - yet had already paid for multiple deliveries. Bullen, 52, sometimes goes under the name Paul and uses multiple surnames including Pullen, Wilson, and Cullen.
