A wanted fraudster has been using an elaborate 'organic produce' scam to prey on Scots who believed they were supporting local businesses. Mark Bullen is currently wanted by Kent Police for similar rackets he ran across the UK.
The fraudster has now been conning residents in Edinburgh and the Lothians by operating a fruit and vegetable delivery service. One ex-employee told of how Bullen punts veg to unsuspecting shoppers, claiming it is all organic produce from local farms when it was actually snapped up from the Tesco discount aisles.
It is alleged some buyers received nothing while others were given one or two boxes before being completely ignored. The driver also claims he was never paid for his work and discovered he was working for a fraudster after researching Bullen online, an Edinburgh Live investigation has revealed.
