BBC-NORTHERN IRELAND reports :
"A gang who swindled £20,000 out of a Belfast pensioner's bank account spent his savings on luxury chocolates.
Professor Leslie Clarkson's Halifax account was cleared out by a gang who got his security details.
They ordered £15,000 worth of Thorntons' chocolates which were picked up in England minutes after the fraudulent debit payment was accepted."
they sure must have had a 'sweet tooth' .
police should be looking for people suffering from stomach cramps .
certainly one of the weirdest things i've ever heard .
i've heard the term "laundering" money - so what is this called ?
