Homeless conman convinced lonely hearts women he met online he was £118million Lottery winner - then fleeced them of their savings

Fantasist Christian Barber (inset) told his divorced and lonely victims he was a rich hotelier who owned property and yachts in exclusive resorts in Barbados and Cornwall, and would invest their cash to make them rich. Wendy Stubbs (left) said she so was so convinced by his fake identity that she quickly introduced him to her parents. Another victim, Christine Spencer, 57, (right) from Derby, told the Mail last night how Barber stole more than £11,000 from her over the course of their five-month relationship.
