Chloe Warman produced fake invoices while managing the construction of nine houses.
A woman committed a £58,000 scam while monitoring a residential development. Chloe Warman, a Cardiff-based construction entrepreneur, presented four phony invoices for a project on the site of a former care home on Newport’s Fields Park Road.
The 29-year-old guilty to four counts of fraud by false representation. Cardiff Crown Court heard that she submitted the bills while supervising the development of nine dwellings on the site.
She admitted to providing fake bills to acquire £27,830, £12,387, £12,186, and £6,193 for herself, for a total of £58,596.
Warman, of Ferntree Drive, Trowbridge, committed the offenses between July 10 and August 30, 2023.
She was the director of Imperial Designer Homes, a Newport-based building company that was liquidated in April by compulsory strike-off from the Companies House registry.
Judge Matthew Porter-Bryant issued a 12-month jail sentence, suspended for 24 months, a 120-hour unpaid work order, £500 in prosecution costs, and a victim services fee of £187.
There will be no proceeds of crime hearing because Warman derived no financial benefit from the scam and the victim suffered no loss.
