Quick Cash For Properties was a front for him to rip off more people:
SCOTLAND'S worst charity conman is today accused of cashing in on the misery of house repossessions.
Tony Freeman - who pocketed millions of pounds donated to breast cancer sufferers - is linked to a firm targeting families battling to keep their homes.
The 43-year-old crook's partner Lindsay Hamilton, 28, is listed as a director of Quick Cash For Properties (QCFP).
Callers to the firm are told Freeman also works there. QCFP offers to buy and rent back the homes of desperate families facing the threat of repossession.
But sections of the boom "mortgage rescue" industry have come under fire for making people financially worse off and forcing them on to the streets.
Livingston MP Jim Devine said he had been appalled when Freeman was released early from jail after cashing in on cancer. He added: "This is an issue I will be speaking to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith about. It is wholly unacceptable an individual with a track record like Freeman should be anywhere near a firm targeting the weak at this time."
Freeman's Paisley-based Solutions RMC raised £13million for breast cancer charities in six years but only £1.5 million went towards helping patients.
When he was jailed for 18 months in 2006, it was not for conning donors but for stealing £450,000 from RMC as it was going bust.
The Sunday Mail last week tracked down Freeman and Hamilton to a £500,000 mansion in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester. QCFP's registered office is in Edinburgh but calls to their freephone number go to an office a few miles from the couple's home. When a reporter called asking to discuss a mortgage with Freeman, we were told he was "on the other line".
