A Bromley fraudster who claimed to online buyers she was selling riding equipment because she had a chronic disease has been spared jail after duping 46 victims into paying for goods they never received.
Poppy Valentine Eastwood, 24, of Pike Close, pleaded guilty at Bromley Magistrates' Court on March 21 to six counts of fraud by false representation and one count of acquiring criminal property.
She was sentenced at Croydon Crown Court on Tuesday, June 7 to six months in prison, suspended for 18 months.
Well, of course! She's probably the
real victim, right?
A Facebook group called 'Scammed by Poppy Eastwood' has more than 4,000 members.
No doubt someone will complain about a 'digital lynch mob', but if the justice system can't protect people from scammers, who will?

It is noticeable that real crime receives lighter sentences than PC crime. It used to be that crime was defined by physical theft or harm to property or people now it also includes their sensibilities. The former should be punished to the full extent of the law the latter not at all. It is now those who have forced PC on us who should be punished because of the harm they are doing quite often physical harm. Because their progressive ways are allowing real criminals to no longer fear the consequences of their actions so go onto commit more real crime.
Never have business dealings with anyone called Poppy.
Damned good rule of life.
Pikey Close. You couldn't make it up.
