by Neal Keeling
POLICE are investigating an elaborate scam which has left a businessman £6,000 out of pocket.
One line of inquiry is that conmen gleaned information from two parking attendants working in Salford, then used it to target their victim.
The attendants are employed by Car Parking System (CPS) which has a contract to give out parking tickets with Salford council.
It is understood they were aware the businessman wanted to sell his shop in Worsley and introduced him to two foreign men claiming to be entrepreneurs.
But it is alleged that after a sophisticated con the trader was tricked out of £6,000. It is claimed the pair of foreign buyers were introduced to the victim by the attendants and after inspecting his business, agreed to buy it for £155,000."
