A Scarborough man dubbed an "inveterate liar" and an "irrepressible conman" has been jailed after breaking the terms of a suspended prison sentence – by committing offences of fraud against local shopkeepers.
Wayne Scott, 37, of Albemarle Crescent, appeared before York Crown Court for sentencing, having previously admitted seven charges of fraud.
In February of this year Scott was sentenced at York to 26 weeks in custody, suspended for two years, for making false representations by posing as Dwaine Johnson – better known as the former wrestler and actor The Rock – in order to obtain match tickets from Everton Football Club.
He also made similar representation to obtain memorabilia and gifts from Manchester United and admitted posing as another person to obtain telecommunication serves from BT.
However, on Friday Nicholas Barker, prosecuting, told the court that since the imposition of the suspended sentence, Scott had paid for £1,300 worth of items in several shops with cheques that later bounced.
Following that case, when Recorder Ewan Duff called Scott an “inveterate liar” and an “irrepressible conman”, Scott, speaking outside the court, said: “I feel as though I have spent half my life in prison. I have not enjoyed it and I won’t be coming back here, or going back inside there.”
On Friday he told Judge Stephen Ashurst :”All I want to do now is put all this police, courts and prison behind me. I know I have let my family down and I don’t want to do that any more. I’ve done wrong and I admit that.”
Judge Ashurst told Scott he had been a fraudster, “for many years conning people out of their property in your own name and often using aliases”.
He added that it was obvious that Scott was a complex character and intelligent. The judge said that it was also obvious that he had channelled his abilities in the wrong direction.
The suspended sentence was activated and Judge Ashurst imposed a further 12-month sentence to be served consecutively – 18 months in total.
Taryn Turner, mitigating, said that Scott was a “curious individual”, but he was aware that he had done wrong and appeared to “have now run out of both luck and steam”.

ReplyDeleteThe Merriam –Webster dictionary defines COWARDICE as “Lack of courage or resolution”. Courage, that is the one thing that you obviously lack, since you feel compelled to do an IMPERSONATION of someone YOU clearly are NOT. You sign this blog as Robert Apple, make all this accusations trying to damage someone’s reputation, add links to sites that have absolutely nothing to do with Robert Apple or Robert Apple Construction and copy and paste all the babble, in an effort to make it look like an elaborated blog.
ReplyDeletePATHETIC: Pitifully inferior or inadequate.
That is what you are, someone who feels the need to HIDE BEHIND A MONITOR and shield yourself behind the “anonymity” the internet offers, because you can’t grow some COURAGE to deal with this face to face.
So what is your story? Angry because you went waaaay out of your budget in your building project, living behind your means and now feel the need to blame someone because OBVIOUSLY you lack the strength to admit your own stupid mistakes.
Maybe you are the closeted homosexual who feels rejected?
I think you have too much time in your hands, your pathetic life is wasted in front of that monitor because you don’t have a real life beyond that. So you figure you will vent your frustrations and inadequacies and perhaps feel a little better about yourself by playing cyber bully and starting a defamation campaign, but you are such a WIMP, you didn’t even use your real name!!! WIMP WIMP WIMP!
“The contractor did not return calls for comment”… CALL!!! GROW SOME COURAGE and CALL!! How can you state such a lie when you haven’t called!
“Some signs that robert apple construction fraud is playing the con game might be: sometimes a contractor lacks a license or documentation, is hard to reach and not listed in the phone book, and uses a vague contract to describe the services provided – or no contract at all. Then, when things go bad, they vanish.” HAVE BEEN LICENSED FOR 17 YEARS!.. Not listed? Look again, NO contract??? …
Your statements are unsupported accusations, with no proof and you don’t identify yourself.
SO WHO IS THE FRAUD NOW?
WHO IS THE CONMAN?
Construction on the newest Apple Iphone should be completed on time.
