\"Walter<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The folks at Walter Mitty Hunt Club<\/a> send us their latest “Walt” – Jonathan Price who was also a grifter who some how convinced women that he was a millionaire, and an SAS trooper, and proceeded to bilk them out of their life savings; <\/p>\n

He now faces jail after pleading guilty to fraud totalling \u00a3180,000 \u2013 leaving three women and their parents without their life savings.<\/p>\n

Price, from Darlington, told his unsuspecting targets that he had vast sums of money in offshore accounts and was suffering from terminal cancer.<\/p>\n

The conman then wined and dined each girlfriend using the cash he got from his other victims. He even proposed to one, booking a \u00a396,000 wedding at an exclusive hotel.<\/p>\n

So convincing was he that his victims persuaded their elderly parents to help him out when he claimed to have encountered cash flow problems, believing he was more than capable of paying back their loans.<\/p>\n

Teesside Crown Court heard that Price was really a penniless \u2018serial\u2019 fraudster who left a trail of victims traumatised and facing financial ruin.<\/p>\n

He has served four prison sentences and collected seven previous convictions for dishonesty from across the UK over the past two decades.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also pretended to be suffering from cancer, so I’m not sure the women were all that innocent. You can’t cheat an honest man, or woman. That doesn’t mitigate his crimes, though. There’s more at the link that you should read. He’s an entertaining fellow, but he certainly doesn’t look like anyone I’ve ever met from the British paras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
