The Examiner has an article about fraud, two people were duped in relation to buying Motorhomes online, its all to easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying one and to overlook possible danger signs.

I'm so sorry for them but why would a person send that kind of money before actually physically touching the product they are buying. The only exception should be if it's from a VERY well known vendor with a 5* reputation.

With 20K in their back pocket, with no bother at all. These scum only think of money. They don’t care about anyone or anything else

Find one victim a month or two and you're on to a good earner, these people treat this as their job and they work at it

So true, having had a roll in security many moons ago we always recognised that many criminals treat their profession like a regular day job investing significant time and resources to achieve the best payoff.
Who wouldn't work diligently for perhaps a month if the payoff at the end was ten or twenty thousand quid or more .
