Whisky scammers ‘knew about my terminal diagnosis’

Victims have been conned out of millions of pounds in a whisky barrel investment scam, a BBC investigation has found.

Hundreds of people were duped into ploughing their life savings and pensions into casks that were overpriced or did not exist, while some individual casks were sold multiple times to different investors.

The victims include one woman with terminal cancer who invested £76,000.

NHS worker Jay Evans put her home on the market so she could make investments to provide long-term security for her loved ones.

The BBC can reveal that police are investigating three Scotch whisky companies over fraud allegations, with investments running into the millions.
