To be fair to Trevor, there might be a reason why he's refusing to answer the question.
From: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/fraud-act-2006
Fraud by false representation (Section 2)
The defendant:
- made a false representation
- dishonestly
- knowing that the representation was or might be untrue or misleading
- with intent to make a gain for himself or another
We probably can't expect him to make an admission against his own interest, if that were in fact the case. Not that I would expect this to go to trial, or anything. I'm sure the courts have better things to prosecute. But still, I doubt I'd admit to anything that smacked of possible illegality on a public message board. If it were true of course.
