trying to buy a truck to enter the haulage industry believe they have been stung for 2500 by a rogue company in Falkirk offering non-status finance deals from off-shore accounts. It appears to be the same company CM has been warning readers about since April. The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, gave the 2500 deposit eight weeks ago to a man called John Smith, who promised he could raise the money from North Sea oil rigs. As CM went to press the couple had still not received any money and are threatening to inform the police about the perceived fraud. "We cannot afford to lose £500," says one. "My son has just spent his 18th birthday with no presents."
