Published August 2nd, 2007
A mother has been jailed for 16 months for scamming nearly £40,000 from would-be holidaymakers through the internet auction site eBay.
Julie Flood, 45, from Sussex Road, Maidstone, Kent, admitted 27 counts of theft at an earlier hearing.
She had promised 19 people fake packages including a stay in New York and a trip to Disneyland, Florida.
Passing sentence at Maidstone Crown Court recorder Simon Blackford said she had “systematically misled” victims.
