A fraudster who scammed a blind man out of £185,000 has been jailed.
Mark Stanner, 42, of Macclesfield, Cheshire, used a call centre as a front to bombard his victim with phone calls, texts and emails falsely claiming he owed to companies over a four-year period, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
The force said in one instance he had threatened to take the man’s property if he did not pay £4,000 within the hour.
Stanner, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud, was jailed for five years and four months at Manchester Crown Court Minshull Street.
