Mark Bullen is wanted for a series of rackets he ran across the UK - and has recently been preying on unsuspecting Scots
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.
Bullen, 52, is also known to go by the name Paul and uses several surnames, including Pullen, Wilson, and Cullen. He also has links to Sussex and Norfolk. He is wanted by Kent Police "in connection with a fraud offence in the Tunbridge Wells area" and recently featured on BBC Crimewatch, where they described him as 50 years old, bald, with a grey beard.
One of the delivery service drivers, who asked to remain anonymous, says he was promised £15-an-hour to run the fruit and veg boxes but when he approached Bullen for his wages, he was told they were "on the way". Top news stories today The driver soon discovered Bullen had multiple aliases and had previously ran fruit and veg scams up and down the UK. Victims of the conman say he asked for money up front for regular deliveries. Some claimed he followed through with one delivery, before delaying on future deliveries and eventually going to ground on them.
Another victim, who believes hundreds of people have lost money in the scam, added: “He’s a scammer. My brother didn’t get his full wage from him, and I know he just buys stuff at Tesco and claims it’s vegan local produce.”
