The two sons of a British man who suddenly reappeared five years after he was thought to have drowned at sea said Thursday they feared they may have been the victims of a "huge scam" carried out by their own parents. Police on Thursday were preparing to question John Darwin, 57, after he was moved to a police station in northeastern England late Wednesday following his arrest on suspicion of fraud, a spokesman for Cleveland Police, the force investigating the case said.In a joint statement released by police, Darwin's sons, Mark, 31, and Anthony, 29, said they were in an "angry and confused state of mind" and they wanted no further contact with their parents.
