“Members of a gang that made millions of pounds from swindling thousands of holidaymakers were convicted yesterday of setting up one of Britain’s biggest tourism scams. The three men and a woman are believed to have made up to £12 million by taking reservations for holidays from at least 8,000 people via the internet and teletext, but never booking them, Southwark Crown Court was told.”
