Travel agent who pretended to have cancer to con 1,400 customer jailed

<更新日時> 06月19日(月) 00:23

A travel agent faked  while defrauding more than 1,400 customers has been jailed at Durham Crown Court for nine years.

Lyne Barlow, 39, was 'riding the monster of deceit' as she used her fake illness to deflect the avalanche of complaints from devastated families whose holidays failed to materialise.

She was so determined to continue her charade that she even convinced her husband, Paul, and son and daughter she was battling cancer.

Family members took her to hospital appointments, unaware that she was simply waiting inside before re-emerging claiming to have seen her consultant.

To make her story more convincing, she cut off strands of her hair and scattered them across her pillow to make it look as though she was losing it to chemotherapy.

Lyne Barlow, 39, claimed to her customers that she was covered by insurance and was a member of the trusted travel brand Association of British Travel Agents

Barlow also claimed to be suffering from a terminal illness while she was selling the holidays, Durham Crown Court heard in October last year

When Barlow was arrested in 2020 she hobbled into the police station with her head swathed in a scarfe and eVdEN EVe nAkliyaT walking with a stick.

Custody photographs show a vast difference when she was re-arrested a year later and was forced to admit her 'stage 3/4' cancer had been a fabrication.

Barlow stooped so low as to defraud her own mother, Susan Coleman, 64, out of £500,000 - part of which came from an insurance payout following the untimely death of her father, Barry.

The rest was NHS ward sister Mrs Coleman's retirement payout and savings, which Barlow told her she'd invested in a business venture which would make her mother rich.

Barlow took over her grieving mother's financial affairs as she struggled to come to terms with losing her husband in 2015.

As she systematically emptied her mother's accounts she intercepted her post to stop her getting bank statements.

She also mocked up bank statement from Barclays which appeared to show that her mother's money was in fact growing rather than disappearing.

Barlow also took her mum away on lavish holidays along with her children, a boy and a girl.

However it emerged the reason for this was, on some occasions, that Barlow knew through the intercepted post, that bailiffs were due to turn up at her mum's house and she didn't want her to find out.

Mrs Coleman was left penniless by a daughter who used part of her money to set up Lyne Barlow Independent Travel in Stanley, County Durham.

Barlow offered holidays at astonishing prices to drum up trade.

Customers were able to snap up all inclusive trips to Dubai for just

£500 and EvDeN eve nakLiYat word quickly spread of her extraordinary bargains.

The bubble quickly burst as families saw their hard earned money vanish on holidays that they never got to take.

Some paid up to £5,500 to arrive at their destination and discover no funds had been received by the hotel so there were no rooms booked.

Others arrived to discover they had no place on the return flight and were stranded abroad until they could find their own way back.

Eventually a Facebook group was set up by furious victims of Barlow's scam and an agreement reached to go to Durham Police en masse.

There were so many calls to the force's HQ that they had to be directed to an email address because emergency callers would have been unable to get through.

In total Barlow could be proven to have defrauded family, friends and customers out of £1.2m, but investigators believe the total sum she gained over a period of five years from 2015 to 2020 was £2.6m.

Barlow admitted theft, 10 counts of fraud and possessing criminal property at Durham Crown Court and was jailed for nine years.

Judge Joanne Kidd told her: 'You have presented yourself to those who knew you as a charming an engaging woman.

'You are clearly a woman with significant intellectual ability but you also have an extraordinary talent for dishonesty.

Her first victims were family and friends and she used their savings before setting up an independent travel agency, in which she fraudulently sold holidays, reporting them to be ATOL and ABTA protected, the force said.(Pictured: stock image of a beach)

'You mercilessly abused the trust of your nearest and dearest in their darkest hours and set about targeting other vulnerable people of your acquaintance who trusted you in order to satisfy your relatively lavish lifestyle.

'This involved lavish holidays, an expensive car and EVden EvE nakLiyaT designer goods.

'The extent of the betrayal of your own mother is truly breathtaking.

'As you gallivanted around your mother's utility bills went unpaid and county court judgements rained down upon her.

'Bailiffs visited her home, unbeknown to her because you deviously arranged to take her away on visits on the days they were to arrive.

'I take the view that you are a thoroughly callous individual.'

Tony Davis, mitigating, said: 'Once she began riding the monster of deceit it was inevitable it would come crashing down and evDEn EVe NAKliyat it did.'

Barlow squandered the cash handed to her on designer clothes, prestige cars and holidays for her and her immediate family, with exclusive breaks in Dubai being her chosen retreat.

The charges stated that Barlow made false representations by purporting to be an ABTA and ATOL registered travel agent when in fact she was using criminal cash to finance further frauds.

Money handed over by customers was being used to pay for holidays that subsequent clients booked through her, eVDEn eVE NAKLiYAt in a Ponzi-type scheme.

But her jugging over other people's cash came crashing down in 2020 when police were called in.

Furious customers were arriving at her home even as officers moved in to arrest her.

She used her 'cancer' as a shield to fend off angry people she had conned.

In an email she told one customer who was chasing a refund for a

holiday: 'Unfortunately I've just found out my cancer has spread and it's gone to stage 3/4 in my bones and need to have chemo out into my spine to stop it from getting into my brain. It's going to be pretty intense.'

Detective Sergeant Alan Meehan from Durham Police Complex Fraud Team led the investigation.

He said: 'At the time of her arrest we were aware that she was telling people she had cancer and at that time we kept an open mind on whether that was correct or not not.

'As part of the investigation we asked to access her medical records and it was only then that the truth emerged that she had been making the whole thing up.

'It was a determined and calculated attempt to distract attention from her crimes and deflect blame away from her because she hoped people would feel sorry for her.

'The lengths she went to were very unusual.In case you loved this informative article and you wish to receive more details relating to EvdEN Eve NakLiyaT i implore you to visit the website. It came as a massive shock to her husband that she did not in fact have cancer.

'She wore a scarf over her head and appeared to be losing her hair, although we believe she was cutting off strands and scattering it across her pillow at night to keep up that deception.

'Members of her family were even taking her to hospital appointments that never existed.

When she was first arrested in September 2020 she presented as a very frail and sick woman, walking with a stick and with her head in a black scarf to cover the apparent hair loss.

'Once confronted by the medical information she had no option but to admit she'd been lying.

'The second custody photograph from when she was re-arrested in 2021 show the true picture, with no sign or suggestion of illness.

'In our opinion it's a serious aggravating factor in the largest case of fraud this force has ever dealt with.

'Lyne Barlow was trying to attain a lifestyle she could not afford and rather than stop as she got out of her depth she continued to take money from more and more victims.

'The number of calls we received on this case was unprecedented and once they started coming in they were so many that we had to set up a dedicated email as the control room was in danger of being overrun.'

James Lewis, of the Crown Prosecution Service said: 'Barlow acted with greed, using false promises and deceptive lies, to convince family and friends, as well as hundreds of customers, who all trusted her, to part with their money so that she could sustain her own lavish lifestyle.

'Fraud is an insidious crime and the cost to the many victims in this case has not just been financial; it has also caused huge emotional distress and extreme disappointment to devastated customers who had to find out their holiday did not actually exist at a time when the country was in the grips of the Covid-19 pandemic.

'Thanks to the thorough investigation by Durham Police and to all the victims who came forward to report her, we were able to bring Barlow to justice.

'We will now be taking steps to recover this money taken through Proceeds of Crime legislation.'

Difficulty measuring methane slows plan to slash emissions

NEW YORK (AP) - Satellites, drones and airplanes equipped with infrared cameras will likely be the backbone of a new federal policy to fine the nation´s largest methane polluters.

But the nascent industry has a long way to go before it can accurately measure just how much methane polluters are releasing. And the nation´s new methane reduction program, which was passed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, will allow the government to fine those polluters for methane emissions based on measurements taken in 2024.

That leaves little time to get a reliable system in place.

Boeing bids farewell to an icon, delivers last 747 jumbo jet

SEATTLE (AP) - Boeing bids farewell to an icon on Tuesday: It´s delivering its final 747 jumbo jet.

Since it debuted in 1969, the 747 has served as a cargo plane, a commercial aircraft capable of carrying nearly 500 passengers, and the Air Force One presidential aircraft. It revolutionized international travel. But over about the past 15 years, Boeing and its European rival Airbus have introduced more profitable and fuel efficient wide-body planes, with two engines instead of the 747´s four.

Unprecedented profit for Exxon as travel, and war, heated up

NEW YORK (AP) - Exxon Mobil posted record annual profits in 2022 as consumers globally struggled with high prices for gasoline, home heating and consumer goods.

The energy giant brought in $55.7 billion in annual profits. That exceeded its previous record of $45.22 billion in 2008. Exxon´s bounty came as Americans shelled out $4 per gallon for gasoline in the U.S. during the spring and summer. Oil and natural gas prices surged globally after Russia invaded Ukraine and reduced its supply of energy to Europe.

The record profits were a marked turnaround from two years ago, when the coronavirus pandemic hit and travel ground to a halt, killing demand for fuels.

Lawmakers aim to raise penalties for US airline disruptions

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress is going to take another look at legislation covering the rights of airline passengers.

Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Edward Markey of Massachusetts said Tuesday they re-introduced bills to increase penalties when airlines strand or delay passengers, and to limit airline fees. Both ideas have failed in previous years, but the senators say they´ve got a good chance of success this time because of outrage over debacles like the one at Southwest Airlines in December.

But they´ll face obstacles. Republicans haven´t supported the measures yet. And airlines have succeeded before in lobbying Congress against proposals to limit or regulate the fees that they charge customers for services like checking baggage.

Alaska gold, copper mine blocked over environmental worries

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Federal environmental regulators have blocked a proposed Alaska mine heralded by backers as the most significant undeveloped copper and gold resource globally.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took the unusually strong step Tuesday. It´s concerned about the mine´s environmental impact on a rich aquatic ecosystem that supports the world´s largest sockeye salmon fishery. Alaskan Native tribes and environmentalists celebrated Pebble Mine´s veto.

But Pebble Limited Partnership CEO John Shively calls the move "unlawful" and says a lawsuit is likely. Tribes in the Bristol Bay region in 2010 petitioned the EPA to protect the area under the federal Clean Water Act.

Brazilian 'ghost' aircraft carrier gets a reprieve

<更新日時> 06月17日(土) 08:33

BRASILIA, Feb 1 (Reuters) - A decommissioned 32,000-ton 1960's aircraft carrier has been floating off Brazil's shore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there because the rusting ship is an environmental hazard.

Woman who spent £50k on house says it was left in 'horrendous' state

<更新日時> 06月16日(金) 23:37

A woman has slammed the 'horrendous' state of her house after spending more than £50,000 on building work only for it to abruptly stop leaving her with a large repair bill and 'no kitchen.'

IT worker Lisa Morris, eVDen eve nAkLiyAt 50, says she hired a company called Eva-Lution to renovate her Llanharan home but the work suddenly stopped last November.

She says she paid the builders £52,900 for work including a kitchen extension - but she claims her kitchen has been left with exposed wires, bare brick walls and no ceiling.

Now Ms Morris, claims her property has 'no kitchen, having ripped the previous kitchen out' and that she is 'emotionally and physically exhausted' and living on 'microwave and air fryer meals.'

Ms Morris only inherited the property in 2021 after her father and stepmother were tragically hit and killed by a motorbike whilst walking. 

Lisa Morris, 50, says that the renovation works have cost her over £50k and still aren't done 

Ms Morris says she has been forced to live in the half finished house for weeks 

She said: 'What makes it worse is that it's their house.I was renovating it with money my dad had gifted me shortly before he passed away. 

'The house was all I had left of them. I'm emotionally and physically exhausted - this has consumed my life for months. 

'I took time off work but I've had to go back because I can't afford not to work, with the situation I'm in.'

Eva-Lution, whose director is 27-year-old Chloe Eva, had eight employees in 2022, according to Companies House. 

Ms Eva denied the work on Ms Morris' home was of a poor standard and claimed it was halted due to a 'cash flow issue'. 

She said Ms Morris rejected the offer of a £24,544 refund for parts of the job left unfinished.

Ms Morris, who previously lived in rented accommodation, had hoped the renovation would be complete by the time she moved into the house. 

She heard about Eva-Lution in June last year through a recommendation and paid a £3,500 deposit the following month.

As work progressed over the following weeks, Ms Morris transferred more money for materials. 

In early September she went to Howdens with a member of Eva-Lution's team and chose a kitchen. 

She transferred £11,000 to Eva-Lution but claims she only later learned that Howdens had never received payment for the kitchen. 

Ms Morris says the state of the house has impacted her mental health 

The garden is still half finished and scattered with building materials 

According to Ms Eva, her company had ordered the kitchen but had not paid Howdens.

An Eva-Lution worker told Ms Morris by text that all the upstairs, living room and front-of-house work would be done by October 16, adding: 'Hopefully we will have the extension built with just the inside left to do.' 

Because of this she arranged the end of her tenancy for October 16 but she claims it eventually became 'apparent that the house wouldn't be liveable' by that date, so she extended her lease by a month.

Ms Morris claims she moved in on November 5 with no kitchen, no cloakroom, an unfinished hallway and a garden 'like a building site'. 

She added: 'I went on holiday on November 12 and was told that the frame of the extension would be up by the time I got home.Again this did not materialise.'

On November 28 the company told Ms Morris there was a cash flow issue but a £250,000 investment would be in its accounts by December 2. 

'I was also told at this point that they didn't even have enough money to pay for the cement, so I gave them £400 to get the necessary materials so the footings could be completed,' she added.

Eva-Lution workers have not attended Ms Morris' home since the end of November when concrete was laid for footings. 

She alleges that the extension's timber frame never arrived and that another builder has since told her the footings were laid incorrectly and will have to be removed. 

Ms Eva disputes this and claims the footings were laid after consultation with a structural engineer. 

She added: 'I do not believe the work carried out was to a poor standard, and during the works no issue or complaint was raised about the quality or standard of work.'

Ms Morris said the job was meant to cover a fully fitted kitchen with appliances.'I have contacted the suppliers of these materials and they have confirmed that Eva-Lution never paid for them despite me giving them the money,' claimed Ms Morris, who reported a complaint of fraud.

Wires hang down from the ceiling in the property which has not been completed 

Responding to the claim of fraud, Ms Eva said staff stopped working on Ms Morris' property due to a cash flow issue after her own company was a 'victim of fraudulent activity and non-payment of invoices' by another business. 

Asked about the investment, she claimed this was set to be completed at the beginning of January but 'when the funds were due to be transferred, there was an issue due to the fraud case that Ms Morris has put on the business bank account'.

'By this time, other accounts and clients then had further frustrations with needing to wait for works to re-commence, and the investor pulled out due to there being so many issues,' said Ms Eva. 

'If the fraud case was not on the account, the funds would have gone through and we could be in a position to resolve any company conflicts.'

She added that the kitchen was ordered through Howdens but Eva-Lution was waiting for the investment to come through before the kitchen could be obtained.Eva-Lution offered to pay Ms Morris £24,544, which Ms Eva described as a 'fair refund' due to work already completed. 

'This included the purchase price of the kitchen which, due to the issue and us not being able to obtain the investment funds, was not settled,' said Ms Eva.

Ms Eva claimed funds had never been taken from clients to cover business overheads but she said Eva-Lution was hit by the alleged fraud of another company.

She said:  'Due to the situation we found ourselves in...direct debits and standing orders of Eva-Lution were still being taken from our account which ate into funds we had received from clients. 

'This is not how we have run the company through the duration. However, due to the circumstance/situation this is what happened.Again, this is why Ms Morris was offered the settlement figure, to cover this cost. In the event you loved this informative article and you would want to receive more information about EvDen EvE nakliYAT i implore you to visit our web-site. '

Ms Morris, EvdEn eVE NaKliyat who claims her home needs around £40,000 worth of repairs, has declined the offer of £24,544 and sent a letter before action to Eva-Lution, which has begun the process of liquidation.

'It was never our intention for the company to go into liquidation,' said Ms Eva, but she confirmed there have been other threats of legal action and described liquidation as 'our safest option as a company'.

Ms Morris has been relying on a microwave and air fryer to cook since moving in. 'When I moved in, I was only expecting to live like this for a week,' she said, adding that upcoming repair costs will leave her struggling financially.

Aside from the kitchen, Ms Morris claims a downstairs toilet and vanity unit are among the items paid for but never installed. 

Ms Eva defended her company's work which she says included new internal doors, plastering, painting, electrical works in the living room, a new upstairs bathroom, new radiators, rubbish removal, new light fittings, fitting of blinds supplied by Ms Morris, wardrobe work, re-routing of drainage and plumbing, and the 'beginning of the extension'.

Ms Eva added: 'If there was an issue with the quality it should have been brought to our attention before now. 

'Ms Morris was offered for the staff to return to the property before Christmas, which she denied and advised she was taking legal action and we were not to return.'

I ordered a brand new £999 Apple iPhone 14 Plus from Amazon but when the package arrived it contained two candles and no sign of the mobile

<更新日時> 06月16日(金) 01:23

I ordered a brand new £999 Apple iPhone 14 Plus from Amazon but when the package arrived it contained two candles and no sign of the mobile. 

I was bemused at first, but now I'm fuming as Amazon is refusing to refund me for the device.

A.B., Sussex.

Another ball of wax: A reader was left bemused when Amazon sent him two candles instead of the £999 iPhone 14+ he had ordered

Sally Hamilton replies: Your story had me reminiscing about the vintage Two Ronnies ‘four candles' TV sketch where hardware shop owner Ronnie Corbett thinks customer Ronnie Barker wants to purchase four candles when what he actually wants are ‘fork 'andles — 'andles for forks'.

The misunderstanding makes for brilliant comedy.But to order a £999 phone from Amazon and receive two candles instead — and have the firm wash its hands of your case — well, I can see why that got on your wick.

You explained that, EvdEn eVE NAKLiyat as well as the phone, you had ordered a laptop from Amazon, with the two parcels delivered at the same time.

You provided the security code to the delivery driver that Amazon had emailed previously.The same code applied to both items. Such codes are required for high-value purchases to prove packages have been safely received by the right person.

When you opened the first package, all was fine: the laptop was as expected. The second, which should have been the phone, contained candles.

To put me in the picture fully, you told me your husband had in fact ordered candles separately from Amazon, EvdeN EVe NakliYaT as a gift for you but sent to him.He suggested this must have caused the mix-up.

But you were concerned because his Amazon account is different from yours and the offending candle package had your name and business details on the address label. And, in any case, where was the iPhone?

You contacted Amazon, EvDen eVe naKLiYAT which replied that it had delivered parcels of the correct weight and told you to file a police report.You tried, but the police weren't interested, stating that it was a civil matter and you should speak to Amazon.

You phoned Amazon to try to resolve the impasse, but it told you to contact its customer services online. You got nowhere.

You reached a similar dead end with its social media and on Trustpilot, the customer reviews website, where you hoped it might pick up on your complaint.

Having hit a brick wall, you contacted me.You told me you are a clinical psychologist and have a strong view on how Amazon's lack of a positive response made you feel disempowered as a consumer. Sadly, such treatment of customers by businesses is widespread.

Another reader, J. B.from Leicestershire, contacted me with a similar tale of intercepted Amazon parcels and the subsequent poor response by its customer services. The £459 Samsung tablet he ordered via the firm before Christmas was replaced by cake decorations.

As with your case, the correct passcode had been given on delivery.But the label on the package was wrinkled, as if it had been taken off another parcel.

When J. B. called Amazon to report this, an agent said he would be refunded upon returning the package. On the understanding that the original payment would soon be reimbursed, he ordered another tablet for a further £459.

Sadly, this was premature, as Amazon then refused to refund him.He appealed several times, in vain. An email escalating his concerns to Amazon's complaints department was ignored. So, like you, he came to me.

When people buy something online, the retailer is responsible for evdEN eve NAKliyaT its safe delivery, according to the Consumer Rights Act 2015.I felt both you and J. B. should be reimbursed.

I took both cases to Amazon, which agreed to investigate. Within a few days, it came back with some excellent news.

Although there was no explanation about what had gone wrong in either case, nor why the refunds had been refused, a spokesman says: ‘We've contacted the customers directly, apologised and eVDen EvE naKliyAt processed a full refund.'

Anyone in the same boat, or who receives damaged goods, should always contact the retailer immediately.

It also helps to collect evidence, including photographs of the packages that have been damaged or tampered with, and of whatever was substituted for a genuine order.If signing for a delivery that can't be opened in front of the courier, add the words ‘not inspected', which could help if issues emerge on opening.

Opting for a delivery to be made to a ‘safe place' or a neighbour can make problems harder to resolve later.Consider requesting signed-for delivery only, particularly for high-value items. If you loved this report and you would like to get a lot more information about EVDen eVe nAkLiYaT kindly stop by our page. If the retailer won't play ball, try to request reimbursement via a claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act, if the purchase was by credit card and the item cost between £100 and £30,000.

The card provider is jointly liable with the retailer if something goes wrong with a purchase.

If a debit card was used, consider raising a chargeback dispute — an informal arrangement offered by banks for customers who do not get the goods or services they have paid for.

The latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network’s savage round of redundancies has signed off with a very honest farewell letter

The latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network's savage round of redundancies has signed off with a very honest farewell letter.

Frank Filosi ended a farewell email to his staff by stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in .

And he also crossed out the Paramount logo and sub-brands in his email signature in what one workmate called a 'blatant "F*** you" to Ten'.

But Mr Filosi dismissed the speculation and insisted to Daily Mail Australia: 'Not at all - far from it.I love this company - merely no longer an employee.'

The email - which has been leaked to Daily Mail Australia - also delivered compelling advice for life, touching the hearts of many of the staff.

Frank Filosi took an apparent swipe at his ex-employer when he signed it off, stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in Adelaide

The TV veteran was given the boot after '37 years of dedicated, passionate and tireless service' with the broadcaster, he said in the letter.

'Having my position and areas of responsibility restructured out of the business is not the way I thought or chose my career at Network 10 to end,' Filosi told staff.

'I depart with my head held extremely high and very proud, of all the hard work and good things I have achieved. If you have any sort of inquiries regarding where and the best ways to make use of eVdEn eve NakLiYAT, you can call us at the page. '

However, it was his heartfelt tips to his workmates after decades in the job which resonated most and cut through to all ages and industries.

'Prioritise your personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of your family, friends and loved ones,' he wrote.'This should and must always be your primary focus.

'Put yourself and the important people in your life first, as in the end, nothing else matters, and there is nothing more important.

'Jobs, EVDen EVE NaKliyAt positions, careers, good times and the not-so-good times, come and go but the people who are closest to you and need you, deserve you being there for them all the time, not just some of the time.

'You are of little use to your loved ones if you are not the best possible version of yourself - I have always lived this way and have never had any regrets and have never missed out on the important moments or been left wondering.

'Remember, you own and control your life, not someone else.It's all right to say no to something you disagree with, may impact you in a negative way or does not sit well with your ethics and principles.

'Poor decisions will haunt you and mess with your wellbeing.

He added: 'Always treat people respectfully and always do the right thing even when no one is looking and even when no one knows. It's called integrity. 

'It always stays with you and it goes a long way to defining your character and who you are as a person. 

'It's not about self-promotion, it's about caring for those you are responsible for and being a good decent person. Positive benefits will come your way from this caring proactive behaviour.

'Life is what you make it, in everything you do.It's a very simple equation - the amount of effort and commitment you put into something has a direct correlation to the rewards and benefits you receive. 

'Effort In = Rewards Out - You get nothing for free, so don't expect it!Always be positive. There are always people far worse off than you. 

'Get moving and make things happen. Don't wait for someone else to sort your career out for you. Decide what you want and go and get it, wherever that may be. 

'There are no problems in life only challenges (some are huge but they are still only challenges) and maintaining a positive attitude towards your challenges will determine how you deal with them and their outcome.'

It comes after Natasha Exelby (pictured) became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday 

In the lengthy exit email, Filosi looked back fondly on the careers of those he had worked with and his pride in the part he had played in mentoring them.

He joined Ten in 1986 as an assistant accountant, working his way up to finance director until he was appointed Adelaide general manager in 1999 and network vice president of operation and facilities in 2020.

'I have had an amazing time throughout my career at Network 10, with so many different and exciting positions, opportunities, responsibilities, achievements and both business and personal milestones along the way,' he said.

'However, I'm not one to dwell, so onwards and upwards.Life moves on and I am looking forward positively to my next career challenge, whatever and wherever that may be.'

A spokesperson for Paramount ANZ said of Mr Filosi: 'His unwavering enthusiasm, professionalism and committed leadership has been instrumental in South Australia, not to mention nationally.

'Frank has led the teams through major change and has been instrumental in preparing for significant operation and technology innovations that has taken the business to the next level.

'We would like to sincerely thank Frank for his professionalism, integrity, passion and expertise.

'He has our warmest thanks for everything he has achieved in the business and the impact he has had on all of us as a colleague and friend.'

But was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion. 

Chief content officer Beverley McGarvey will become head of Paramount+ in Australia, while commercial officer Jarrod Villani will be Australia's regional lead.

It comes after Natasha Exelby became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday.

Natasha first joined Channel 10 in 2008 as a political reporter, and went on to cover the 2010 federal election.

But the content boss who has overseen Ten's seemingly terminal ratings decline, Beverley McGarvey (pictured), was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion 

She then became a host of the breakfast show Wake Up alongside Natarsha Belling and James Mathison in 2013, but was dropped after three weeks.

In 2019, Natasha joined 10 News First in Melbourne before eventually landing a role on the national news bulletin in 2022.

For the last few years, she was also a regular panelist on Studio 10.

Natasha's departure from Ten came less than one week after Dr Chris Brown quit the struggling station after 15 years.

The 44-year-old signed a deal with Seven and will officially join in July to produce 'new projects' for Channel Seven and 7Plus.

Natasha and Chris are the latest in a string of major departures from Ten, following the exits of The Project hosts Carrie Bickmore, Lisa Wilkinson and Peter Helliar.

Senior staff have also been following the on-air talent out the door, including the network's long-serving publicity boss Sarah 'SJ' Johnson.

 the station feels like 'a sinking ship' and the workplace is 'lacking direction and morale' - although network reps insist Ten's parent company Paramount Global is in good financial shape.

Natasha's departure from Ten came less than one week after Dr Chris Brown (pictured) quit the struggling station after 15 years

'There are going to be a lot more resignations to come...Ten feels a bit like a sinking ship,' one staffer told Daily Mail Australia, adding that morale had been on a critical slide 'for some time'.

'It feels kind of rudderless. Like there's not a lot of direction and the network can't seem to figure out exactly what it wants to be.'

Adding to the general discontent is the network's hit-and-miss programming which leans heavily on reality TV formats, another staffer said.

'Some like Survivor and, at a pinch, MasterChef, work but a lot of them don't,' the source said.'There seems to be so much that bombs.'

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s

<更新日時> 06月15日(木) 09:13

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's owned dozens of phony luxury items including bags and jewelry federal autho to federal charges that she had put together a $5 million telemarketing scam targeted to swindle older people.

Among the fraudulent items of merchandise, which were mostly manufactured in China, included fake purses aimed to resemble products from high-end brands including Balenciaga, Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, evDeN EVe nakLiYat Hermes, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton and Valentino.

The jewelry collection included counterfeit pieces made to resemble designers such as Bulgari, Chanel, Cartier, Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co.

Mixed in with the phony items were actual pieces of luxury accessories and jewelry from brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada, as well as pieces from her castmate Meredith Marks' brand.

Federal authorities took possession of all of the items amid a raid on the Bravo personality's home in March of 2021 in the probe into her fraud case.

After the holidays: Jen Shah's trial date has been pushed back until next year, after she plead guilty to charges of organizing a $5million telemarketing scam that targeted hundreds of elderly people

Approved: The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star's new court date is set for January 6, 2023

The  star's new court date is set for , 2023, after the holidays. 

In court documents, obtained by , it was revealed that 'Judge Sidney H.Stein approved the rescheduling on Wednesday, November 23.' 

In July, Shah plead guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, with the US attorney dropping her second count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. 

Shah's assistant Stuart Smith previously admitted his part in the same scam, and had been due to testify against his former employer, until her guilty plea.

The US attorney's office says Shah faces the maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, but NBC Connecticut reports that a plea deal will actually see her serve a maximum of 14 years.

Woah: Bravo cameras caught the moment Jen Shah fled the set of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after an ominous phone call alerted her that authorities were on the way and she needed to head out

As part of her guilty plea, the reality star also agreed to forfeit $6.5 million and to pay restitution up to $9.5 million.

Addressing the court, the reality star said that she 'knew it was wrong' and that she was 'so sorry' for the 'many people' who were harmed.

Shah admitted that she 'agreed with others to commit with wire fraud' and 'knew it misled' victims, over 10 of whom were over the age of 55.

Shah added there was a 'misrepresentation of the product… regarding value of the service,' noting it 'had little to no value.'

When asked by US District Judge Stein if she knew what she was doing was wrong and illegal, Shah replied, 'Yes, your honor.'

Priya Chaudhry, representing Shah told DailyMail.com: ‘Ms.Shah is a good woman who crossed a line. She accepts full responsibility for her actions and deeply apologizes to all who have been harmed.

'Ms. Shah is also sorry for disappointing her husband, children, family, friends, and supporters.For those who have just about any inquiries about where along with the way to utilize eVden eVe NAkliYAt, you'll be able to contact us with our site.

She was never without a designer outfit or handbag, EvDen EvE naKliyat and boasted about the size of her walk-in closets.Shah has been on the Salt Lake City franchise of the show since its premiere. 

Her storyline originally centered around her converting to Islam for her football-coach husband, and facing racism in the largely white, Mormon community in Utah.

Her extreme spending and extreme fighting with castmates quickly became focal points of the popular reality show, but they were quickly overshadowed by her legal woes.

Shah was dramatically arrested during filming in March 2021 along with assistant Stuart Smith on suspicion of the federal offenses.

Her arrest was caught on camera by Bravo, with the star begging them to 'turn off' the cameras after she suddenly abandoned filming - claiming there was an emergency with her husband Sharrieff Shah. 

Sharrieff, a special teams coordinator for the University of Utah's football team, received a call from Homeland Security informing him that they were looking for his wife.

Dramatic footage shows Shah leaving filming as the cast were about to leave on a trip to Colorado, with officers caught on camera asking for her whereabouts before she was arrested.  

Her storyline originally centered around her converting to Islam for her football-coach husband, who admitted his 'heart stopped' when he realized that his wife had been arrested

Smith pleaded guilty in November last year and had agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in their case against his old boss - a factor which likely contributed to her switching her plea.

Landing FedEx plane almost crashes into Southwest plane on the runway

<更新日時> 06月15日(木) 09:06

A FedEx cargo airplane attempting to land at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Saturday morning was seconds from disaster with the flight crew suddenly forced to pull up and abort their landing after a Southwest Airlines plane was also cleared to takeoff from the same runway.

The two planes appeared to come within 75 vertical feet of one another.

The Boeing 767 cargo airplane was several miles from the airport when it was cleared to land, according to the FAA but just before it was about to touch down an air traffic controller also gave the go-ahead for the Southwest Boeing 737 to take off on the exact same stretch of tarmac.

'Shortly before the FedEx aircraft was due to land, the controller cleared Southwest Flight 708 to depart from the same runway,' the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

'The pilot of the FedEx airplane discontinued the landing and initiated a climb out.'

At one stage, just 75 feet appeared to separate the two aircraft according to FlightRadar24

In a tweet Saturday, the National Transportation Safety Board used jargon to downplay the incident describing it as a 'possible runway incursion and overflight involving airplanes from Southwest Airlines and FedEx.'

The incident occurred in poor visibility conditions early on Saturday morning in Austin. 

The FAA said FedEx Express Flight 1432, a Boeing 767 cargo plane, which had departed from Memphis, was cleared to land on Runway 18-Left around 6:40am while the aircraft was several miles from the airport. 

The Southwest plane had not yet departed when the FedEx plane was approaching the runway.

The FedEx aircraft had to suddenly pull up and managed to climb several hundred feet within seconds as the crew averted catastrophe

The Southwest flight to Cancun, Mexico still continued its takeoff even while the FedEx cargo plane was directly above it. 

The Southwest jet was able to depart safely, according to the FAA.

Southwest has so far declined to comment.FedEx said its flight 'safely landed after encountering an event,' but declined to further comment because of the ongoing investigations. 

The FAA and NTSB said they are investigating the serious incident.

'FedEx Express Flight 1432 from Memphis, Tennessee to Austin, eVDen Eve nakliyaT Texas safely landed after encountering an event just before landing at Austin Bergstrom International Airport this morning,' FedEx said in a statement,

A similar close call was averted at John F. Kennedy International Airport  after an American Airlines plane crossed a runway while a Delta Airlines' Boeing 737 plane was preparing for takeoff on January 13.

Air traffic controllers noticed a Boeing 777 had crossed from an adjacent taxiway.

The FAA said the Delta Boeing 737 stopped its takeoff roll approximately 1,000 feet before reaching the point where American Airlines Flight 106 had crossed.

Italy pushes retail bonds, eyeing inflation and ECB tapering

<更新日時> 06月11日(日) 03:00

By Sara Rossi and Valentina Consiglio

ROME, Feb 10 (Reuters) - The Italian Treasury is moving quickly this year to issue retail bonds, hoping to plug a gap soon to be left by the European Central Bank and anticipating strong appetite from savers whose deposits are being eroded by inflation.

The economy ministry said on Monday it would issue a new "BTP Italia" inflation-linked bond for retail investors from March 6-9, earlier than the traditional April-May period chosen over the last decade.

It has said it is also considering other instruments dedicated to domestic savers, as part of a strategy to put more of its huge public debt - proportionally the second highest in the euro zone - in Italian hands.

"We want to reduce our dependence on foreign creditors by increasing the number of Italians and Italian residents that hold our public debt," Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Thursday.

Retail investors held about 9% of Italian public debt at the end of last year, according to Bank of Italy data.

Analysts say Rome is probably also capitalising on favourable market conditions as three similar BTP Italia bonds mature in April, May, and November for E a total of nearly 25 billion euros ($26.87 billion).

The yield on Italy's benchmark 10-year BTP bond stood at around 4.20% on Friday, compared with 4.70% at the end of December.

The Treasury has not issued three BTP Italia retail bonds in a year since the instrument was introduced in 2012 at the height of the euro zone debt crisis.

The importance of retail investors in purchasing BTPs will grow as the ECB withdraws its support.

The central bank last year ended its "quantitative easing" and emergency pandemic bond purchasing programme.It is continuing to reinvest part of the bonds it bought as they mature, while reducing its balance sheet.

INFLATION MENACE

Italian households' bank deposits are larger than their euro zone peers, according to calculation by the Scope Ratings agency for the third quarter of 2022, based on ECB data.

Italians' deposits amount to 86% of national output, the data shows, compared with 74% for France and 81% for Germany and Spain.

"Italian households' liquidity potentially offers the Treasury a growing investor base in the near future," said Scope analyst Alvise Lennkh-Yunus.

However, these deposits are being rapidly eroded by inflation, and they declined last year for the first time since 2017 by almost 20 billion euros.

While consumer price growth in the 20-nation euro zone eased to 9.5% in January, E in Italy it was still running at 10.9%.If you have any questions concerning in which and how to use E, you can get in touch with us at our internet site. The ECB targets inflation at 2%.

"Italians' savings are no longer safe because of the continuous surges in energy prices and inflation in general," banking union Fabi said in a report this month.

The inflation-adjusted value of bank deposits has fallen far more steeply in Italy than in Spain, according to calculations by Spanish bank BBVA based on Bank of Italy and Bank of Spain data.

A trend that has seen Italian deposit rates lagging far behind lending rates is likely to continue in coming months, E Fabi said, increasing the incentive for savers to invest in government debt.

"The 0.3% rise in mortgage rates and business loans in the year to September 2022 compares with an increase in deposit rates of just 0.05%," the union said.($1 = 0.9303 euros)

SECOND husband indicted for smuggling nuclear weapon tech to Russia

<更新日時> 06月10日(土) 14:45

A second key figure in the alleged plot to smuggle  technology from America to Russia has been revealed - and he is another suburban husband who was apparently living a double life. 

Vadim Yermolenko, 41 lives in a luxury $1m, four-bedroom, four-bathroom  home with his glamorous wife and their young children, DailyMail.com can disclose.

His identity can now be disclosed after it emerged that another accused member of the conspiracy, , runs an online craft store in with his wife.

Yarmolenko and Brayman, who were indicted Tuesday then released after posting bail, allegedly helped supply Russia with technology that can be used in nuclear and hypersonic weapons.The scheme was part of a sophisticated plot orchestrated by the country's security services, prosecutors say.

The elaborate smuggling network, which spanned several continents, has been likened to the plot of a wild espionage drama.

Vadim Yermolenko lives with his wife Diana and their children in a $1m home in New Jersey.Prosecutors say he played a key role in a plot to smuggle millions of dollars worth of high-tech weapons components from the United States to Russia

Away from Yermolenko's alleged role in the shadowy 'Serniya Network,' which is controlled by spymasters in Moscow, he maintains the image of a loving family man in a leafy middle-class suburb of million-dollar homes.

He lives with his wife, Diana, and their three young children in a desirable four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.

Yermolenko, a U.S. citizen, and Brayman, an Israeli citizen born in Ukraine, are named in an indictment which was unsealed Tuesday when both appeared in court charged over the plot.

Yermolenko, represented by a federal defender, was released after posting $500,000 bail, using his family home as security.Brayman was also released on $150,000 bail and subject to electronic monitoring. Both men were told to surrender their passports.

Diana (left), who is not charged with any crime, regularly shares pictures of the family's life on social media.Prosecutors allege that behind Vadim's image as a successful businessman, he was part of an international plot to supply Russia with sanctioned technology that can be used in nuclear weapons

Yermolenko's glamorous wife, Diana, EVDEn eVe NAKliyaT regularly shares snaps of their holidays abroad, including to Russia, on social media, along with photos of her with her husband, who's accused of smuggling sanctioned weapons equipment from the United States into Russia.

Yermolenko and his wife are both from Russia, according to their social media profiles.

Diana's Facebook and Instagram posts paint them as a loving family who enjoy a jet-set lifestyle, holidaying in sun-soaked destinations across Europe and the U.S.The couple, who married in July 2011, also take frequent trips to St Petersburg.

Diana, from Mirny in Russia's Sakha Republic, regularly posts proud photos of her family, including pictures of her eldest daughter figure skating.

Yermolenko's profile says he is the founder of Divatek, a New Jersey-based company which sells cell phones and other electronic devices.

He says he studied at Dante Alighieri, in St Petersburg, an 'international society founded to promote Italian language and culture throughout the world.'

But prosecutors allege, that behind the image of a family man and successful entrepreneur, Yermolenko helped the Serniya Network 'acquire sensitive military and dual use technologies for the Russian military, defense sector and research institutions.'

Yermolenko's family life in a pleasant American suburb can be revealed after it emerged his co-defendant, Alexey Brayman, pictured with his Russian wife, Daria, EVDen evE naKliYaT allegedly used his home in New Hampshire to ship the technology to Russia

With help from Yermolenko, Brayman allegedly received the equipment at his home in New Hampshire (pictured), before it was sent on to Europe and eventually into Russia

Vadim Yermolenko (left) and Alexey Brayman (right) were allegedly part of a plot led by security services in Moscow to smuggle millions of dollars worth of weapons technology into Russia

Dual use technology is equipment like semiconductors and other sophisticated instruments that can be used in both civilian and military products.It is key to maintaining , which has cost the lives of thousands of civilians - and massively depleted Moscow's stocks of weaponry.

Yermolenko is accused of playing a key role in getting equipment worth millions of dollars to fellow family man Brayman, who then shipped it to Europe before it was smuggled into Russia.

Yermolenko deployed deceptive and fraudulent tactics to open shell companies and bank accounts in order to mask the reason for the purchases and destination of the products, it is claimed.

With Brayman, he would alter, forge, and destroy shipping documents, invoices and other business records to unlawfully export items from the United States.

The men allegedly worked with Vadim Konoshchenok, an FSB agent who smuggled some of the items from Estonia into Russia

The indictment against Yermolenko says he even provided his wife's signature 'to use on IRS documents for company applications and applications to open U.S.Bank Accounts.'

Diana Yermolenko is not charged with any crimes.

The equipment that was trafficked in the conspiracy is sensitive and highly-regulated. The U.S. and other countries have imposed strict sanctions designed to prevent Russia from obtaining such 'critical western technology.'

Yermolenko allegedly worked with a Russia-based defendant called Boris Livshits, a 52-year-old from St Petersburg.

Livshits took requests for sensitive items from the Serniya Network and then obtained them from U.S.businesses using front companies, forged paperwork and other deceptive tactics.

Those items were then trafficked out of the U.S. with help from Yermolenko and Brayman, authorities say.

On one occasion, Livshits ordered Yermolenko to 'throw away the invoice' for an order.Another email reveals he instructed Yermolenko to tell a bank that payments were for 'bicycle spare parts, sporting goods and textile products.'

Brayman and Yermolenko allegedly trafficked 'advanced electronics and sophisticated testing equipment used in quantum computing, hypersonic and nuclear weapons'.Pictured: A Russian S-400 missile defense system drives in Red Square, central Moscow, on May 9, 2022

Prosecutors also revealed the vast web of the supply chain which carried the technology into Russia. If you have any queries with regards to where and how to use EvDEN Eve nAKLiyAT, you can contact us at the web site. Common intermediary countries included locations in Estonia, Finland, Germany and Hong Kong.

Brayman and Yermolenko allegedly delivered some of the items to Vadim Konoshchenok, evDeN EvE NaKLiyat 48, a Russian based in Estonia, who moved them across the border.

Konoshchenok describes himself in communications obtained by authorities as a Colonel in the FSB, Russia's federal security service and the successor to the KGB, according to prosecutors.

As well as moving the technology, Konoshchenok 'repeatedly' attempted to smuggle tens of thousands of rounds of US-made ammunition across the Estonian border into Russia, including sniper rifle rounds and military grade .223 rounds.

Prosecutors say the seven defendants named in the indictment, which was unsealed yesterday, participated in 'a transnational fraud, money laundering and sanctions evasion scheme controlled by a foreign power that is actively engaged in armed conflict'.
