Tenant conman dresses up

A court has heard the bizarre case of a Manchester conman who has been found guilty of defrauding landlords by dressing up as an airline pilot and copying the exploits of the character played by Leonardo di Caprio in the film "Catch Me If You Can".

The flamboyant tenant used the uniform to persuade landlords of his suitability as a tenant before leaving a property owing months of unpaid rent, only to move to another rental property and repeating the scam.

Alexander Da Silva, 29, has been jailed for three years and 11 months.

It just shows that landlords shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and the importance of getting tenant references.

I do like his style though....... chocks away!

Cheap tenant references
