Johnny Pollard faces new fraud accusations
Convicted fraudster Johnny Pollard has been accused of duping would-be holidaymakers out of tens of thousands of pounds.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed it had launched an investigation into a travel-related fraud after Travel Weekly spoke to 12 complainants claiming they booked holidays with Pollard which later turned out to be bogus.
They were each offered bargain-priced trips worldwide. After making bookings by email and phone and transferring cash to a bank account, complainants were sent invoices and itineraries appearing to confirm their holiday.
