Romance Scammer Steals £80,000 from Women

Peter Gray, a 35-year-old man from West Yorkshire, scammed £80,000 from four women he met on Tinder. He was sentenced to 56 months in jail and received restriction orders related to his victims. Gray used the women's details to fraudulently obtain loans in their names, which severely impacted their trust. One victim, Jessica, discovered a £9,000 loan taken out in her name, while another, Hannah, found a £20,000 loan under her identity. Elizabeth had her mortgage affected after Gray used her driving license to secure a £10,000 loan. Two victims used the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme to uncover Gray's history. His actions have left lasting trust issues and significant impacts on their lives.
