Suspect allegedly claimed to be adviser or ambassador to made-up places such as ‘Seborga’ or ‘Westarctica’

This was obviously a bad thing he did because he was taking people’s money on the premise that they would be able to get work in a foreign country, but at a certain level you have to be impressed by the sheer audacity of the scam!

He will go down in history next to the man who tried to sell the Eiffel Tower.
