Summary
In 2011, 27 year old Lynda Spence, from Glasgow, was an accomplished scammer. But as she got involved in bigger deals, the people she ripped off were becoming serious criminals, with a background of extreme violence. One of these was a man called Colin Coats.
In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I cover the story of Lynda Spence and the consequences she faced for scamming dangerous people, like Colin Coats.
