Watch out!


A conman who posed as a literary
agent to steal £532,000 from writers who thought he would help them turn their
books into films has been jailed.
Robin Price, 51, of Ilfracombe, Devon, swindled at least 30 people and spent
the money on his friends and drugs, a court heard.

Now that's a con. Pity the bashers don't know the difference.
