There is a new one on GC every day on GC that certain posters seem to think are worthy of a GC audience.
Just for my own entertainment I'll do one here as a homage....till I get bored...which could be soon.
Thread title: Grandmother robbed
Thread intro: I think it is terrible the way people can behave towards members of their own family.
A HEARTLESS fraudster nicked his granâs bank card and went on a four-month £2,000 spending spree.
Shameless Mark Filson splashed out on Rangers match tickets, CDs and DVDs and even bought his girlfriend romantic FLOWERS using Jessie Filsonâs cash.
Filson, 24, also posed as Jessie, who is in her 70s, to settle everyday bills and pay off more than £700 he owed on loans.
Ayr Sheriff Court heard yesterday how he swiped the card from his trusting grannyâs Bellsbank, Ayrshire, home in August 2011.
Over the coming months he scammed more than £2,000 worth of goods and services by pretending to be the elderly cardholder.
He paid £80.64 to O2, £41.20 to HMV, £868.59 to Green Insurance Company, £53.60 to Rangers FC and £34 to Hollow Park Florist.
A payment of £687.30 was made to loan firm FLM while Loan and Finance Solutions got £79.99.
Brazen Filson also made a payment to Arnold Clark Toyota â listed as his employer on his Facebook page.
His shameful spree only came to an end when other family members checked unwitting Jessieâs statements and spotted a hole in her finances.
Filson, of Ayr, pled guilty to ten charges of fraud between November 2, 2011 and March 1 this year. There is an outstanding allegation that he stole cash from ATMs from August 2011 to March this year.
Depute fiscal Claire Smith said: âThere are inquiries ongoing in relations to the sums involved.â
The case was continued until June.
