Conman husband jailed for mortgage fraud scam

A BETRAYED wife whose husband forged her signature to obtain a £120,000 mortgage –plunging her into financial ruin – branded him a conman as he was jailed for eight months.

Fraser Donaldson twice remortgaged the house he shared with wife of 13 years Linda without her knowledge.

She knew nothing of the fraud until debt collectors turned up at her home on her birthday asking about a deal apparently bearing her signature.
