'Conniving conman caused the demise of my company'
A man from Melton who says he had to put his business into administration after a scammer siphoned money from it has warned others to be wary of things that seem "too good to be true".
Jeetandra Patel, known as Jeet, has spoken out after "conniving" conman Mital Mehta - who is estimated to have defrauded 拢560,000 out of 24 victims - was jailed for more than five years in May.
The profit-making scheme involved the buying and selling of tickets to Premier League football matches.
Jeet previously spoke about his experiences anonymously, but has agreed to be identified to raise awareness about fraud, and spoke to 麻豆社 Leicester's Ben Jackson.
