Sanitised case 15
A couple made arrangements with a local real estate company to view properties on the 1.1k £15m plus bracket. An email dialogue had been exchanged prior to the visit, where Mr. Y spoke of his business activities and alleged source of wealth. Whilst viewing properties a member of staff in the real estate company conducted an internet search on Mr. Y and found a picture of Mr. Y after recently serving a prison sentence for fraud offences. A Google map search also showed the small house in the UK where the couple live. The staff member challenged Mr. Y over the picture and he claimed that he knew of someone who was impersonating him. No further business was conducted.
