Youngest ever Euromillions winner Jane Park points ‘run in your life’ warning
EuroMillions winner Jane Park has issued a stark warning to her female followers about a notorious Scots Tinder Swindler who allegedly targeted her and another influencer.
Edinburgh-born Jane took to Instagram, telling her fans to “run for your life” from the 34-year-old con artist, whose identity is protected due to legal reasons. The bloke previously dodged jail after duping a woman out of £2,500, threatening that her car would be set alight by Glasgow gangsters if she didn’t cough up the cash.
The scammer claimed he needed the cash to save his failing central heating business.

He was eventually nabbed and forced to refund the money after being found guilty of fraud earlier this year. Now, Jane, who bagged the EuroMillions jackpot at just 17, has warned that the man’s still a menace, following claims she had a run-in with him, reports the Daily Record.
Taking to her Insta story, Jane said: “A real life Tinder swindler, girls run for your life if you encounter him.” Jane, who holds the record as Britain’s youngest EuroMillions victor, also mentioned fellow influencer Victoria McCrae in her post.

A source said: “Apparently he approached both girls via social media after stalking them, their background, families, ex-partners and friends for months to have things to hold over them.”
Another source revealed: “Although she can be very active on social media, Jane keeps a lot of things private and hasn’t been scared to take steps away from the limelight when she’s needed it. She’s doing her bit to try and make sure nobody else falls victim to him and his scams.”

Last year, Jane’s ex-boyfriend Marc Webley was tragically shot dead on New Year’s Eve outside the Anchor Inn pub in Edinburgh. Prior to this, he was jailed for 11 years after shooting a drugs gang rival.
Victoria has been approached for comment, while a spokesman for Jane refused to comment.
