The mum-of-four spun “a web of lies” with several victims, tricking them into a relationship and telling them she was due to inherit a large fortune.

Kingsley used that to leverage them into spending huge sums on her behalf, including a planned wedding.

At other times she stole or used false bank card details to pay thousands of pounds on hotel stays.

Kingsley, of Beadnell, , pleaded guilty at a hearing at Crown last month and is due to be sentenced on March 25.

She admitted six counts of theft, four counts of fraud by false representation, two counts of using a false instrument with intent that it will be accepted as genuine and one count of being in possession of an article for use in fraud.

One victim, who wanted to remain anonymous, told the Daily Mail : “This isn’t some hot blonde in heels who has bamboozled a couple of guys, not at all.

“This was a woman who was well-spoken, educated, not unattractive and who used complex means to deceive people and gain their trust.”

were first tipped off about Kingsley in 2019 after they had a report she had fraudulently used the bank details of her mother’s friend to pay for a stay at Cromhall Farm near Chippenham.

An was launched and other forces also passed on information about concurrent investigations into Kingsley.

One of those cases was of a romance fraud which dated back to 2016.

The cops found out that between January 2016 and Januarty 2018, Kingsley was in a relationship with the victim during which she informed him she was due to receive a multi-million-pound inheritance, producing forged letters from professionals as proof.

The victim spent tens of thousands of pounds on furniture for a new home, dental , her debts and a payment for a wedding which didn’t happen on the assumption he would get the back through the inheritance.

After that relationship ended in 2018, the following year she then started a relationship with another victim, again misleading him into believing she was about to inherit a large fortune.

As a result, he helped her with significant deposits for a Land Rover and a , as well as expensive hotel stays for which they had no means to pay.

The victim also racked up a large debt through her use of his bank cards.

In two further brief relationships in the autumn of 2019, Kingsley again repeatedly used the victims’ personal and company bank cards to make purchases without their knowledge.

Police’s fraud team also discovered Kingsley had committed theft and fraud against numerous other victims, including solicitor’s firms, lawyers and a bank, by falsifying documents and letters.

Kingsley was first interviewed about the offences in May 2020, where she denied all offences and claimed to be the victim herself.

From January 2021, officers repeatedly attempted to interview her for a second time but were unable to make contact with her.

She was eventually tracked down to a property in in August 2022, where she was arrested for a second time.

She again denied the offences.

In March 2025 the authorised charges against Kingsley.

In May 2025, it was established Kingsley was now living in a remote cottage in the Scottish Highlands, where she was personally served the summons to attend Swindon Magistrates’ Court on June 18.

She failed to attend, claiming not to know what she had been charged with.

A warrant was issued for her arrest, and on June 29 a car she was travelling in on the Isle of Skye was stopped by officers from after it had been spotted speeding.

She was arrested and then remanded into custody.

After several months of delaying court hearings, she pleaded guilty to 13 offences against her.

DC Melissa Pope, from our Fraud team, said: “Kingsley wove a web of lies with her victims, causing significant emotional anxiety and long-term mental and financial harm.

“She manipulated their emotions, assuring them that through her future inheritance she would be able to repay the considerable sums of money that they were spending on her behalf.

“For one of the victims, an expensive wedding which had been planned, for which the victim’s relatives had booked to come from Australia, was cancelled at short notice.

“Following the launch of our investigation, Kingsley delayed the court process, denying what she had done until the final moment before a trial would be arranged.

“She lied continuously through the investigation, giving false statements and communicating various issues as to why she shouldn’t face charges.

“I’m pleased she has finally admitted the romance fraud charges against her, as well as a number of other fraud and theft offences relating to other victims. I hope that her victims can now start to move on from this experience.

“I want to highlight that for romance fraud cases like Kingsley’s, while there are significant financial losses, it is often the emotional impact on the victims that has a more lasting impact.

“It is a huge breach of trust and self-esteem which can take years to recover from.

“If you suspect that you have been caught in a romance scam, please recognise that you are a victim and there is no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed.

“Please report it to the police or Report Fraud and keep a record of your interactions and documentation.”
