'Naive' woman admits fraud.

A WOMAN who married a waiter she met in Turkey took out loans in her mother's name to pay off his debts.

Lyndsey Kutluk obtained around pounds 29,000 loans over the internet and all the money was spent.

She even paid for the wedding herself, hoping the waiter could get a visa to come to this country.

Kutluk, 32, of Beech Trees, Skelmersdale, who admitted three deception charges at Preston crown court, was given a nine-month jail sentence suspended for two years.

But at the hearing her mother, Mavis Whitfield, gave evidence to say: "I have forgiven her."

Kutluk used her mother's name to obtain loans through the internet from three financial institutions.

Rachel Woods, defending, said "naive" Kutluk met a younger a man, a waiter, in Turkey four years ago.

"She was pressurised into paying his debts. Her plan was to marry him to obtain a visa to come to UK."

Recorder Howard Bentham QC, told the defendant: "You are a dishonest and deceitful woman."
