Alistair Anderson stole 90,000 from a pensioner to feed his gambling addiction by exploiting the trust and goodwill extended to him during the victim's declining health. Similarly, David Chambers took advantage of vulnerable elderly individuals, using one victim's bank accounts to spend her life savings and administering a fake Covid jab to another, showing how some fraudsters target those in need.
Judge Ben Gumpert KC commented on Anderson's actions, pointing out that he took advantage of the declining health of the pensioner to exploit trust and goodwill. The victims in these cases suffered significantly, with one being diagnosed with dementia due to the stress and consequences of the fraud.
