Motorhome dealer Christine Galloway left numerous victims thousands of pounds out of pocket by selling on their vans and keeping the cash.
A pensioner who conned elderly caravanners out of nearly £350,000 to prop up her failing business has been jailed for 12 months.
In April we told how the motorhome scam victims called for Galloway to be jailed after they were robbed of their pension pots. Among them were retired paramedics Robert and Carol Moore, from Dunoon, Argyll, who handed their van to Galloway in 2018 and had never seen their retirement nest egg since. "I cannot stress enough how devastated she is for the clients who trusted her. She would like to issue the deepest apologies. She will be haunted by it until the day she dies."
"Upon signing the agreement, the vehicle, keys and all documentation was entrusted to St Andrews Motorhomes in order for them to sell on their behalf. The brokerage agreement offered a guaranteed sale price, which was typically higher than that currently being asked by the seller, with the seller receiving their payment 30 days after the sale."
She subsequently gave him £18,000 due to a "cash flow problem" and promised the rest would follow, but only half o the agreed price was ever paid to Mr Falconer. Galloway had sold his vehicle for £30,000. Joy Malcolm, 79, saw positive reviews for the company in January 2018 and agreed to sell her motorhome for £21,000. It was sold for £18,000, but she was not paid anything.
