A crooked banker who stole cash from customers is at the centre of fresh claims that he is a kitchen conman.Dayne Lynn narrowly avoided jail in 2019 after he dipped into two accounts in a bid to embezzle £75,000.He admitted the charges but claimed at the time that he’d been targeted by criminals on the dark web, who’d supposedly coerced him to carry out the theft.Lynn, from Saltcoats, Ayrshire, has now branched out into the fitted-kitchen business - but his latest ventures have sparked fury from customers who say they have lost cash deposits or had substandard work done.

The Daily Record can reveal that Lynn, 27, has recently been involved with two kitchen and bathroom installation companies that went out of business, leaving customers out of pocket.The Divine Kitchens Scotland Ltd company - of which Dayne Lynn was sole director - was compulsorily struck off the company register in December 2023.Customers and contractors who worked with Lynn have claimed they were owed thousands for botched work or unpaid debts.Lynn later took on work as a salesman with his dad Scott’s company, Fresh Bathrooms and Kitchens Ltd, which is now being wound up after many customers claimed they paid large sums for work that was not done.Some disgusted clients paid several thousand pounds just weeks before the liquidation of the company commenced on September 13 - and don’t believe they will see a penny back.Furious Kayleigh McKendrick and a host of others posted details on a Scotland’s Scammers Facebook page - detailing their disgust.Kayleigh said: “Some of us have had work done at a terrible standard and in need of major repair.
