The incident happened in Tadcaster in July when a man cold-called at a business in the town, claiming to need money and offered to sell the ‘gold’ necklace that he claimed was worth £1,500 but would sell for £1,000.
The necklace was stamped with an 18ct gold mark, however, it turned out to be fake.
