Hey Murph, why don’t you start a thread about yourself, then bump it up when no one gives a shite about it.

Perhaps we could come up with a name, ala WWE for their tag team.

Another news report

An utterly retarded scam, did they really think people would not query why payments were not showing on their accounts?

[Booji Boy]

Who knew HMRC had a flikr account. Some right dodgy looking fuckers on there.

Remember these were unclaimed payments so I would imagine that the company had made a refund request which was accepted and then had a letter to ask for a bank account and for whatever reason HMRC never heard from them for maybe a year. That meant that there would be an allocated amount sat there waiting for the company to contact HMRC again with bank details. After a year or two the company may be no more or just forgotten about it hence this woman thinking she would never get caught.
Someone found a letter or remembered their refund and asked about it which was how they were caught. If they were clever or not so greedy then they would only take the money from companies that had since gone bust or ceased trading.

By the way, I've been meaning to ask: What exactly are "unqualified accountants" in this context?

People who post on forums as authoritative experts on a subject they know little about such as contract law.

Any non-nutjob genuine responses, please? Thanks.

I'd assume that they would be more like financial or tax advisors than qualified accountants.

[Ginge]

Would a qualified accounted be "chartered"?

They won't have a qualification with a recognised accounting body such as ICAEW, ACCA, ICAS etc.

They can still hold themselves out to trade as an "Accountant", but not as a "Chartered" of "Certified" Accountant (these are the biggest institutes covering private practice) and also means there is no-one to complain to or to censure their behaviour.
