ONE of the victims of a confidence trickster who swindled his way to hundreds of thousands of pounds said he is “dangerous”.

Grandmother Chris Haslam, 58, lost £1,260 in 12 days to Roy Moyse in 2006 after befriending him through her work at Cagney’s nightclub in Bournemouth.

Although the two were never romantically involved, Chris said she wanted to help Moyse, who told her he was homeless but due to come into hundreds of thousands of pounds.

“There are so many people out there that he has conned,” she said.

“It isn’t just women – men are being tricked by him as well. If anybody has been affected by this man I would urge them to come forward and tell the police.

“There is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. He is a clever and devious – he can con anyone.”

Another victim, Karen Culverwell, recently told the Echo how she was swindled out of more than £200,000 by Moyse, whom she “loved and trusted”, during a two-year relationship.

Moyse, 45, from Poole was recently jailed for two years after admitting defrauding the Royal Bank of Scotland (Natwest) with unauthorised transfers.

Chris Haslam had been friends with Moyse for a few months when he told her he could not withdraw any of his money and owed a B&B £300.

“He said to me, ‘I’ve just sold a flat in Ferndown and I’ve got £300,000 from it, but I’ve invested in a short-term three-month contract and I haven’t got anything for the next couple of weeks’,” she said.

Over the coming weeks, Chris, a qualified accountant, lent Moyse money each time he asked, including £600 as a deposit for a flat rental.

She said: “He might have picked me because he knew I wasn’t married and I lived alone.

“I suppose I fitted the profile of the sort of person he wants to con.”

The trickery was revealed when Chris visited his new landlady, to be told he had only put down a £200 deposit.

Confidence trickster jailed Roy Moyse, 45, of Poole, was jailed for two years earlier this month after admitting defrauding the Bank of Scotland with unauthorised bank transfers.

He stole more than £200,000 from his trusting partner, divorcee Karen Culverwell.

In 2008, he was sentenced to three-and-a-half years for offences stretching from 2001 and 2007.

The then 40-year-old conned five people from Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne and Ferndown out of a total of £100,000, including Bear Cross pub landlord Paul Nippard, who lost £60,000, his job and his home.
