Gang “terrorised” phsychic mum into £16k bank fraud

By Michael MacLeod

A PSYCHIC medium has told of how she was “terrorised” into a £16,000 bank scam by a gang of Asian men who threatened to kill her children if she refused.

Lynne MacNeill, 41, said she was forced to front a plot to get huge loans using fake ID after a clairvoyant session went wrong.

She said a reading that started “friendly and full of banter” ended in “my worst nightmares” when she realised she was working for a criminal Glasgow gang.

She wept at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today as she was spared jail and instead ordered to carry out community service having admitted to being “roped in” to committing fraud.

Occupational therapist given slap on wrist for sexual relationship

By Cara Sulieman

AN OCCUPATIONAL therapist who had a sexual relationship with a “vulnerable” ex-patient has received a slap on the wrist from the Health Professions Council.

The panel – led by John Williams – decided yesterday (Weds) to issue a caution order to Lynn Cameron for five years after she admitted the relationship to her supervisor.

Cameron was working at the South West Bridging Service in Glasgow when she started seeing the 25-year-old Patient A, who she had previously treated when she worked at Rossdale Resource Centre.

The Conduct and Competence Committee of the HPC had heard how Cameron had been warned about “over-familiar and flirtacious” behaviour with patients prior to the admission in 2007.
