A woman swindled her parents £250,000 ($360,000 US) by pretending she was studying at Oxford University, according to a court hearing.
The woman spent the money on holidays, drugs, and a secret wedding her parents weren’t even invited to.
Nicola Boardman, 34, told her mother, Marilyn, and father, Frank, that she needed money to fund a large research project, with the chance of earning £3 million (roughly 4 million in US dollars) once it was finished.
This is another evidence-based example of the destruction caused to society by the use of drugs.
