Sarah Yorke confronted her boss over scamming dozens of people out of their life savings.
A whistle-blower has told the BBC how she confronted her fraudster boss over scamming dozens of vulnerable people out of their life savings.
She began to go through the funeral plans in alphabetical order and contacting the funeral plan provider.She told the BBC: "Barry's downfall was the fact he had employed someone with experience. Sheila Baines, 74, from Inverkeithing, signed herself and her 80-year-old husband up for, what they believed, was a funeral plan with Stevenson-Hamilton in 2018.
Although Ms Mitchell had not taken out a pre-paid plan, she was still lured to transfer the funds directly to the fraudster rather than his business. It means from July 2022 onwards, if a funeral plan provider does not meet the requirements set by the FCA, they will no longer be allowed to sell plans or carry out funerals.James Daley, the managing director of consumer group Fairer Finance, said some firms failed to meet the new regulatory standards and have since gone bust.
"Going forward people can buy these plans with confidence but unfortunately those people who bought plans before July do stand to lose some of all of their money."
