  3. Langley "stripped" victim of her livelihood

    One of serial fraudster Zac Langley's victims told the BBC after his sentencing that he had "stripped her of her livelihood". 

    Clare Cooper, 34, and her mother Muriel Cooper were conned out of more than £100,000 after Langley persuaded them to buy two Range Rovers and give him a loan for a property purchase. 

    Mrs Cooper said she was more upset for the distress Langley had caused her 60-year-old mother, who had provided much of the cash lost.

    She said: "He's taken everything. He came into our lives, he manipulated us".

    Mrs Cooper said Langley's "web of lies" had meant her mother had been forced to return to work after previously retiring to make up the costs she had loaned him.
