“McNamara is a serial fraudster, and I truly believe that he cannot tell the difference between reality and fantasy,” said Det Con Victoria Hazlewood, of Cheshire Constabulary.
“He convinced his victims that he was a millionaire with properties across the country, but in reality, he was unemployed and living out of a suitcase.”
McNamara, who was also known as Ciaran Griffin, Christian McNamara and Myles McNamara met the women through a variety of methods including online and in exclusive hotels and clubs.
He swindled them into believing he had a high value property portfolio by showing them pictures of himself at mansions in London and Cheshire.
He also shared images of him travelling first class across the world and would also flood the women with gifts, weekends away and take them out for expensive meals, police said.
However, unbeknownst to the victims, he was using money he had scammed from other women to fund his lifestyle.
