These Are The UK’s Most Wanted Alleged Con Artists

Britain’s most wanted alleged con artists have been revealed, as figures showing the huge scale of fraud in Britain are released.

These ten criminals are linked to crimes that have seen members of the public swindled out of a total of £20 million.

The cons include a Bollywood movie producer, a phoney MI6 agent and a prolific identity thief.

The list of alleged criminals was published by City of London Police and the National Crime Agency.

Donald Toon, director of the NCA’s Economic Crime Command, said: “The annual losses to the UK from fraud are estimated to be more than £190 billion.

“Behind this headline figure lie the actions of criminals like the wanted fraudsters highlighted in this appeal, who have caused distress and loss to people and businesses up and down the country.

"Law enforcement cannot tackle this problem alone. It is only by working together, individuals, law enforcement, Government and the private sector that we can protect the UK against fraud.

"It is important that anyone able to provide information on the ten fraudsters we are highlighting today takes the opportunity to pass that information to law enforcement to help bring them to justice.”
