British Woman defrauded her own Grandfather
According to The Metro, a British woman, then 23 years old, defrauded her own Grandfather over the period of more than a year and a half in order to steal 75,000 British pounds and use the money to support her drug habit.
Olivia Crutchley, a local of Orford, deceived her grandfather, Rob Crutchley, into giving her a sizeable amount of money under the pretence that she required it to file a lawsuit against B&Q. She also stole her grandfather’s life savings.
According to Wales Online, she defrauded her victim to the point where he was left destitute after she told a series of falsehoods about working for a major DIY retailer and then claimed that she was engaged in a court battle with the company. And then she persuaded her grandfather to fork over almost 75,000 pounds by showing him a succession of emails and screenshots from individuals she claimed were solicitors or others associated with the fake case.
According to testimony presented at Liverpool Crown Court, the couple had a “strong connection” during the time that she resided with him on an infrequent basis when she was a youngster. After Crutchley was accused of stealing ten pounds from his wife’s pocketbook, the prosecution claimed that this led to the ultimate dissolution of their marriage, at which point the wife moved back in with her mother. Paul Blasbery was in charge of the prosecution’s case.
After taking out two loans from the bank, borrowing money from relatives and friends, and selling his car, Mr. Rob was still unable to pay for what he perceived to be court expenses. As a result, he was forced to sell his car as well as his personal possessions.

According to The Metro, fabricated emails purporting to be from her fictitious supervisor discussed these expenditures as well as other costs affiliated with obtaining her uniform and were presented to Mr. Rob for payment. In addition to receiving communications from other individuals, such as attorneys and citizen advice workers, he would receive approximately 140 of these emails between the months of December 2020 and June 2022.
