Eastern Kentucky Scammer Sentenced
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office in London, 68 year old David C. Thomas of Greenville, S.C. has been sentenced to two years in prison. Thomas admitted he falsely portrayed himself as an agent of insurance provider Lloyd's of London to mortgage companies in Pikeville, Hazard, Paintsville, Corbin and Richmond, while pocketing insurance premium checks issued by the companies to cover their clients' first year's worth of homeowner's insurance. He also admitted he issued bogus certificates indicating Lloyd's had secured the insurance.
