Rock Impostor Pleads Guilty

If you smell, what the Rock (impostor) is cooking. The Yorkshire Post reports news of a man who was claiming to be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in order to con people. Apparently, he was using his fake wrestler/entertainer identity to try to con Premiere football clubs out of tickets and merchandise. The man, named Wayne Scott, appeared in York Crown Court several days ago and pleaded guilty to three fraud offences.

From Yorkshire Post:

Scott, 35, formerly of Eastborough, Scarborough, and now of Highfield Road, Doncaster, admitted falsely claiming to be "Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock" when he contacted Everton Football Club in an attemp
t to obtain tickets between July 1 and August 1 last year.

He admitted again posing as the actor on July 26 in an attempt to secure gifts and memorabilia from a member of staff employed by Manchester United Football Club, and also pleaded guilty to lying to BT to obtain telephone services between June 1 and July 31 in the name of Nigel Usher.

Judge Peter Hunt was told Scott, who also goes by the name Kane Van Basten, is receiving outpatient treatment from a psychiatric hospital in Doncaster. He adjourned the case until June 9 for pre-sentence and psychiatric reports.
