A lonely hearts conman was jailed for three
years after cheating six women out of
£186,000 through dating websites. Police
believe student Emmanuel Jack, 26,
claimed to be an architect, engineer and
gem broker, while talking them into
handing over the money.
Using aliases including John Creed, John
Windsor and Johnnie Carlo Rissi, the cash
was said to be needed for vbusiness
purposes.
The love rat, who was studying for a
business degree at the University of
Salford, admitted 11 counts of money
laundering totalling £186,000 and
possession of articles for use in fraud at
Manchester Crown Court.
Two of the women who were conned are British.
Detective Constable Stuart Donohue said: “While
we strongly suspect - but cannot prove - that
Jack was the person who was communicating
with these women, what we can prove is that
money totalling close to £277,000 has been
transferred through his bank accounts
“Woman from across the globe were targeted
and exploited. Women, who in most cases were
vulnerable and lonely.
"Some took out loans, others lost life savings,
they believed they were speaking with a man
who had genuine feelings for them, a man who
loved them and wanted to be with them and
who they genuinely believed to be a soul mate.”
The first victim met a man who claimed to be
John Creed - a self-employed architect and
building contractor on a dating website in August
2011 when she was aged 61.
The pair exchanged e-mails over several days
before Creed began expressing his love.
He then claimed to have two contracts: one for
log homes in Shropshire and the other for the
renovation of flats in Sweden and sent her his
contract allegedly worth £950,000.
He told her his feelings were “too strong to
ignore” before asking for £1,500 to help pay for
supplies for his project. She agreed to transfer
some funds to the account.
At the same time another woman who was aged
52 at the time and who was vulnerable, began
chatting with a man over the same website.
The man claimed to be living in Spain and
working as an architect and building contractor.
After a couple of weeks he again asked for
£1,500 to repair damaged machinery and cash
to pay tax bills and money to pay his workers.
The woman took out a loan and paid the money
to accounts that resulted in the money being
transferred to Jack’s account.
Following the reports from the two women, an
investigation was launched by fraud officers
from Greater Manchester Police.

in August 2013. She said she met a man with
