FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Conman who swindled scots in solar panel scam ordered to spend a week in jail - Caught on Camera

A conman accused of ­leaving customers and investors £100,000 out of pocket has been ordered to spend a week in jail after ­failing to appear in court.

Matthew Farr was previously jailed for a solar panel scheme in which he used the ­deposits of Scots for gambling and luxury living. Last week we revealed Farr, 37, formerly of Glasgow, is now at the centre of new claims after setting up a car repair firm in England.

Farr, also called ­Matthew Scott, set up Masco ­Detailing Ltd, a firm involved in “maintenance and repair of motor vehicles” which customers and investors say owes them cash. Farr has now been ordered to prison for seven days for ­contempt of court after ­failing to answer questions over an unpaid debt.
