Fraudster made £550,000 selling fake 'Scottish-grown tea'

For me the amazing thing about this story is not that some chancer shipped in a load of tea from elsewhere and repackaged it as Scottish, but that he kept the scam going for a decade or more and was only found out when the local council checked to see if he had a food handling licence.
