Reported case

Romance conman so brazen he was snaring a new victim even at his trial

www.dailymail.co.ukEnglishObserved 2025-12-20
Included for relevance; source claims are not independently verified. This record is based on saved titles and descriptions unless a separate deeper-reading assessment is explicitly shown. Observation dates are not incident dates. An arrest or charge is not a conviction.

How to read this record

The source names Nigel Baker’s romance-fraud trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court and alleges he was seeking another victim during the trial. This is not a new conviction or proof of a completed loss to that new target. Carrying a phone alone does not establish a specific scam platform.

Places in the available evidence

Investigation or court: United Kingdom

Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.

Connected reporting

Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.

No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
