Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has been accused of trying to ‘scam people’ from prison in a shocking turn of events
Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has been accused of trying to ‘scam people’ from prison.
The self-described businessman is currently in Al Awir prison, with the former glamour model having gone to visit him whilst in Dubai. She claimed she would have to pay a six-figure sum to get him out of jail but stopped short of doing so.
It has now been claimed by one of Katie’s fans that Lee’s Facebook page – and a man pertaining to be ‘Lee’s business manager’ – was trying to ‘scam’ him whilst Lee was in prison.
The man, called David, claimed: “I messaged Andrews’ Facebook account as a joke and said I had money to invest on May 20. I was stunned when I got a response on June 3. The person claimed to be Lee’s business manager and asked me to send my number.”
David then said he had been asked by a man called Robert Davis, who said he was Lee’s ‘business manager’, to give him £5,000 as an ‘investment’. He explained: “I responded and said I was keen to invest – obviously I wasn’t, but I wanted to see how far they would take it. The man speaking to me said his name was Robert Davis and that he worked for Lee.
“He even sent me a dodgy image which was clearly AI. It showed a little bald man in an office. When he sent me the picture, he wrote: ‘I have not done this to any of our clients, but I’m doing this for you because I respect my boss Andrews.'”
After sending his mobile number, two days later, David said he received a message from a British number. Aura was advertised on the WhatsApp, with a message from Andrews at the top of the profile.
David was later asked to transfer money to a personal account under a different name as the company’s accounts were still being set up. He was also offered to send the money using Western Union to a woman based in Mississippi.
When the man was asked if Lee was in jail, a message sent back read: “My boss, he’s not in jail. My boss Andrews has misunderstanding with him wife Katie, that’s why people think he’s in jail, he’s not,” according to The Sun.
Lee was visited in prison by Katie last week during her trip to Dubai.
“He is coming out, I can’t wait to see him, can’t wait to have our chats, and he should be out next week, but knowing that, knowing what prisons are like even in England, you never know,” she said.
“I’ve made it clear to Lee, I will never give him money, I’ll never give a man money, I’ve done it all my life, I’ve always been the breadwinner. My divorces, I’m the one that always has to give. I said to Lee I’ll never do it.”
