Women warned: ‘Captain Crook’ allegedly back on the prowl
The notorious, convicted conman who earned a reputation for duping women out of their money has apparently returned to the scene of the crime.
Brett Turton – aka Brad Collins, aka Wayne “Buck” Rogers – left a trail of broken hearts and disappointed job-seekers while convincing people he was, at various times, a cruise ship captain, airline pilot and geologist.
According to a number of women Mr Turton has been up to the same tricks he was in 2018, and 6PR listener “Simone” says they are now banding together to warn and protect other potential targets.
“I never had any reason to doubt him; he fooled my neighbours, my friends, basically everyone,” Simone said.
