Notorious conman Mark Acklom, who posed as a wealthy banker and MI6 agent, has been ordered to pay the victim of a romance scam £125,000 in compensation after a five-year court battle. Acklom was jailed for duping divorcee Carolyn Woods into handing over all her money after promising to marry her. At the end of a five-year Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) series of hearings at Bristol Crown Court, lawyers agreed that Acklom, 52, had benefited by £710,000 in his fraud against Ms Woods, but that his traceable assets were only £125,000. He will be jailed for two years if he doesn't comply with the order.
