A CONMAN likened to Leonardo DiCaprio's character in the film Catch Me If You Can has been jailed for eight months for swindling hotels and rail firms.
Reece Scobie, 20, who has Asperger's Syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder, is currently serving 16 months for an earlier crime, in which he conned travel agents out of more than £70,000 for flights and stays in hotels used by celebrities.
But the Scot, from Rait, Perthshire, was back in court yesterday after he admitted using stolen credit cards to book trains, flights and hotels online.
At Southwark Crown Court Judge John Price said: "You are 20. You have got Asperger's. You are having a lonely time in prison.
"If you don't learn now, you never will."
He locked Scobie up for eight months to be served consecutive to his Scottish prison term.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
