A middle-aged con artist who swindled seven victims out of £440,000 after befriending them in pubs has been jailed for six years.
Susan Goose, 63, approached the majority of her victims in pubs across Norwich, Norfolk and would tell them she needed funds to pay legal fees.
Goose claimed she was involved in a civil case over inheritance allegedly owed to her and falsified documents including emails and claim forms.
She also showed her victims items from her alleged solicitor, the bank and the high court she said was handling her case.
The scam was uncovered when one of her victims lost their home after finding themselves in considerable debt due to the money they had lent to her.
