Line dancing fraud

Police investigating a series of fraud complaints across Queensland relating to line dancing events, have released an image of a man who may be able to assist with inquiries.

It is believed the 37-year-old man may have information to help solve fraud offences totalling more than $120,000 with trips organised via a line dancing travel company.

The holidays included group trips overseas and domestically including line dancing festivals, balls and cruises.

Police have received more than 70 complaints from members of the public across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast after money was paid but the holiday was cancelled with no refunds provided.

Officers believe there may be more scam victims and are appealing for those who believe they have been affected to contact them.

Anyone who may know of the whereabouts of the man pictured is also asked to contact police.

He is described as Caucasian, 173cm tall with brown hair and hazel eyes.
