Quick Cash For Properties was a front for him to rip off more people:
SCOTLAND'S worst charity conman is today accused of cashing in on the misery of house repossessions.
Tony Freeman - who pocketed millions of pounds donated to breast cancer sufferers - is linked to a firm targeting families battling to keep their homes.
The 43-year-old crook's partner Lindsay Hamilton, 28, is listed as a director of Quick Cash For Properties (QCFP).
Callers to the firm are told Freeman also works there. QCFP offers to buy and rent back the homes of desperate families facing the threat of repossession.
But sections of the boom "mortgage rescue" industry have come under fire for making people financially worse off and forcing them on to the streets.
Livingston MP Jim Devine said he had been appalled when Freeman was released early from jail after cashing in on cancer. He added: "This is an issue I will be speaking to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith about. It is wholly unacceptable an individual with a track record like Freeman should be anywhere near a firm targeting the weak at this time."
Freeman's Paisley-based Solutions RMC raised £13million for breast cancer charities in six years but only £1.5 million went towards helping patients.
When he was jailed for 18 months in 2006, it was not for conning donors but for stealing £450,000 from RMC as it was going bust.
The Sunday Mail last week tracked down Freeman and Hamilton to a £500,000 mansion in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester. QCFP's registered office is in Edinburgh but calls to their freephone number go to an office a few miles from the couple's home. When a reporter called asking to discuss a mortgage with Freeman, we were told he was "on the other line".
The staff member added: "He's in the office all day today until about 4 o'clock so you should be okay to call back at any time."
Firms similar to QCFP have been accused of paying much less than the market value of homes and of using agreements which allow them to force tenants out.
Msp Margo MacDonald, patron of the Scottish Breast Cancer Campaign, said last night: "Any officers investigating him under proceeds of crime laws would want to assure themselves the capital to start this business didn't come from previous illegal activities. He should be investigated further."
Last night a spokesman for QCFP claimed Hamilton had resigned from the company.
He added: "Mr Freeman does not work for them and is not authorised to represent them in any way.
"Qcfp shares office premises with other businesses. It follows therefore that Mr Freeman being in the offices of QCFP is not evidence he is working for them.
"It is not disputed Companies House may still have Ms Hamilton recorded as a director but she resigned in October."
In a statement, Freeman said: "I am now trying to rebuild my life that I destroyed over six years ago."
These are the directors of QCFP:

Sales and Marketing Administrator
Pinnacle MC Global
July 2013 – January 2014 (7 months)Wilmslow
Tony Freeman has setup a business developing buildings catering for the growing need for student accommodation. My key responsibilities were to support the Global Investment Team / Marketing / the Legal Adviser. A fast paced, chaotic and very young working environment with an ever changing workload, and as such there is a need to be extremely flexible. An "interesting" place to work!
