凭借一表人才和高超娴熟的诈骗手段，现年45岁的系列诈骗案嫌疑人马克·阿克隆（Mark Acklom）在短短一年时间内，从离异女子卡罗琳·伍兹（Carolyn Woods）身上骗取了85万英镑。而这名“天才”诈骗犯能够屡屡得逞，关键一点是他谎称自己是英国军情六处的特工。

尽管相貌堂堂家境也不错，系列诈骗案嫌疑人阿克隆却从小劣迹斑斑，是个臭名昭著的“学生诈骗犯”（schoolboy fraudster）。此前他也曾因诈骗坐过多年牢。
2012年，阿克隆在伍兹工作的服装精品店内偶遇离异的伍兹，并主动和她搭讪。伍兹瞬时被善于花言巧语的阿克隆所吸引，相信了他的军情六处特工的身份和与之结婚的承诺。短短一年时间内，伍兹倾其所有，累计借给他85万英镑。可还没等她来得及穿上她特意为婚礼准备的婚纱，阿克隆就携巨款从她生活中消失了。

2017年5月，逃亡了5年的阿克隆在瑞士苏黎世的豪华公寓内被捕。令人难以置信的是，这个逍遥法外多年的骗子还有个妻子和两个女儿。
法庭上，伍兹痛苦地回忆了她和阿克隆认识和交往的经过，称阿克隆的突然消失从精神和财务上摧毁了她，让她想到了自杀。
"I felt as though I had fallen in love. He told me he had never felt this way about anyone and we must get married."
“我觉得自己好像坠入了爱河。他告诉我他从来没有对任何人有过这种感觉，我们必须结婚。”
"I'vestill got the wedding dress I never wore. It was all a charade. At the time I actually wished he had killed me. I was suicidal."
“我还留着那件从未穿过的婚纱。那完全是一场骗局。当时我真希望他杀了我。我都有自杀倾向了。”

据伍兹回忆，刚见面时阿克隆谎称自己是瑞士银行家，他访英的目的是收购一块科茨沃尔德（Cotswold）机场用地。他们见面几天后就确定了关系，并住到了一起，不过，伍兹后来才发现，阿克隆在他们的住所附近还有第二套房子，他还有老婆和两个年幼的孩子。而阿克隆告诉他，那只是个幌子，他的真实身份是军情六处的特工。
Carolyn, in her early 60s, said: "He was flirtatious, charming and very entertaining."
60岁出头的卡罗琳（伍兹）说:“他性感、迷人，而且非常有趣。”
"He has a great presence and charisma, he exudes confidence and the air around him was electric. I was caught up in a whirlwind of excitement."
“他很有风度和魅力，散发着自信，连他周围的空气都充满了能量。我情难自已。”
"He said he was doing things for The Prince's Trust and helping fundraising at Clifton College and everything was cloaked in respectability.
“他说，他是在为王子的信托基金做事情，并在帮助克利夫顿学院筹款，一切都披上了体面的外衣。
"One of the most extraordinary things he told me was that it was all a cover and he was an MI6 agent. It sounds very far-fetched, but he convinced me it was true."
“他告诉我的最不寻常的事情之一是，这一切都只是个幌子，他其实是军情六处的一名特工。这听起来很牵强，但他使我相信这是真的。”
"There are no photographs of us together because he said his handlers would not allow it because of his security."
“没有我们在一起的照片，因为他说，出于安全考虑，他的上司不会允许。”

接下来的剧情就和所有的诈骗案差不多。阿克隆说自己急需大笔现金，并向伍兹开口借钱。伍兹卖了自己的房子，并最终把自己一生的积蓄都交到了这个骗子手上。
此外，阿克隆还设法使伍兹疏远家人，成为无人求助的孤家寡人，对自己两个女儿的劝告也充耳不闻。

而这一系列的诈骗手段，阿克隆从小就自学成才了。
1973年出生在伦敦兰贝斯区（Lambeth）的阿克隆在家中四个孩子中排行老大。尽管家境不错，从小接受着昂贵的私立学校教育，他却不走寻常路，不但没有成为“高富帅”，还成了个骗子。还在学生时代，他就干起了诈骗的勾当，受害者还包括自己的老爸。
In 1991, Acklom, then aged 16, received a four-year custodial sentence for a £466,000 mortgage fraud after he posed as a City stockbroker.
1991年，当时16岁的阿克隆冒充伦敦金融城的股票经纪人，因46.6万英镑的抵押贷款欺诈案被判在少管所服刑四年。
He also spent £11,000 after stealing his father’s credit card, swindled aformer teacher out of £13,000 and ran up a £34,000 bill with a private charter jet company.
他还偷父亲的信用卡花了1.1万英镑，骗取了一名前教师的1.3万英镑，并在一家私人包机公司欠下了3.4万英镑的账单。
Acklom convinced Leeds Permanent Building Society at the age of 16 that he was a 25-year-old stockbroker on £214,000 a year.
16岁时，阿克隆使利兹永久建筑协会相信他是一名25岁的股票经纪人，年薪21.4万英镑。
They gave him a £466,000 mortgage for a £516,000 executive home in Dulwich, south London.
他们给了他46.6万英镑的抵押贷款，让他在伦敦南部的达维奇买了一套51.6万英镑的高级住宅。
In 1998, he was jailed for two years in Spain for fraud involving unpaidhotel rooms.
1998年，他因涉嫌诈骗住霸王酒店在西班牙被判入狱两年。
After he scammed Ms Woods, he was jailed in Spain again in 2013 for defrauding two brothers into paying him £200,000 as a deposit on the sale of buildings that he did not own.
在他诈骗了伍兹之后，他于2013年再次在西班牙入狱，原因是他欺骗了一对兄弟20万英镑的定金，出售自己并不拥有的房产。
He was released from jail and was on the run for two years before his arrest in Switzerland.
从监狱提前获释后，他在逃两年，之后在瑞士被捕。

今年2月，阿克隆被从瑞士引渡回了英国。在瑞士所涉的诈骗案中，阿克隆谎称他的一个“黑盒子项目”（black box project）背后有埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）50亿美元的支持。在这起案件中，他从一名投资人手上骗取了40万英镑。
如今，他将面临20项指控，涉及诈骗款85万英镑。
