Anthony Adams, 27, is offering “top-tier industry insights” under the alias Dr Antonio O’Braonain.

It follows his release halfway through a six-month jail sentence for posing as a pal of crash victim Josh Crawford, 27.

The hoaxer — who has also pretended to be a Celtic footie coach and a hospital medic — duped loved ones into letting him carry Josh’s coffin in 2022.

Last night Josh’s mum Margaret, 59, said: “We were suffering after we lost my son and he preyed on us and our vulnerability.

“I’m concerned he is trying to dupe other people here.

“Why is he not using his real name? This raises red flags.”

Adams, of Ardrossan, Ayrshire, is listed as a co-director of Firefly Media.

It promises clients “engaging content”.

Paperwork shows another director quit after 15 days.

Someone claiming to be a spokesperson for Firefly Media said: “We are aware of Antonio’s background.

“He has served his time and punishment.

“Everyone deserves a second chance.”
