A motorhome dealer has been accused of ripping off more than £750,000 from customers by selling their vans and keeping the cash.
Christine Galloway is alleged to have spent nearly two years conning customers out of thousands of pounds they expected to be paid.
The 67-year-old allegedly sold 26 motorhomes and 11 caravans before failing to pass the fees on to the rightful owners.
Galloway, of Pine Gardens, Wentlodge, Newport, Wales, is alleged to have earned £776,228 by fraudulently keeping the profits of 37 deals in Scotland.
It is alleged that of the 37 vehicles she sold on between September 26, 2016 and June 24, 2018, only one payment was made to its owner.
In that case they were allegedly paid half of the £36,000 they were owed.
Denies fraud
Galloway denies carrying out the huge fraud in various parts of Fife and Lenzie while she was sole director of St Andrews Motorhomes Ltd.
It is alleged she and employees pretended to customers that St Andrews Motorhomes Ltd would sell their vans and caravans on their behalf.
She is alleged to have promised payment to the customers within 30 days of the sale and by doing so, induced victims to hand over keys and documentation for their valuable vehicles.
Galloway was not present as the charge was denied on her behalf at Dundee Sheriff Court and the case was continued until later this year.
St Andrews Motorhomes went into liquidation in 2018.
