Serial embezzler Agnes Hewitt lied to victims about fake legal cases to cheat them out of thousands of pounds
A widow had to go to a charity to pay for her soldier husband’s funeral after a fraudster who lied about being a lawyer conned him out of their life savings.
But the impact on her victims from her scheming and fake claims of being a powerful lawyer can be revealed by the Sunday Mail. The Sunday Mail has discovered how Hewitt listed herself as a ‘solicitor’ on her marriage certificate in 2018 but has never been on the roll of Scottish solicitors under her maiden or married name.In 2017, Hewitt, formerly an advocate of Peninsula Business Services of Manchester appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted embezzling £11,000 from her employers between April 2012 and March 2013.
She said he had launched an intellectual property case against the firm and convinced him to pay legal costs out of his own pocket.“I paid her £500 to start proceedings but costs then grew and grew. She was very convincing and sent fake paperwork, named lawyers, legal process, judges and was knew what she was talking about.
