London, Apr 22: American rock musician Courtney Love has claimed that fraudsters bought a 200-million pound office block using her and late hubby Kurt Cobain''s identities.

Besides the office block in New York, Love, 44, said that several homes and cars, a spa retreat and dozens of credit cards were taken out on their names.

As per her friends, Love, who was left Cobain''s 21million pounds-a-year estate when he killed himself in 1994, was “too out of it” to notice the fraud when it started in 2003.

But now she has spent 500,000 pounds on private investigators in a bid to find her missing millions. And she is ready to launch a civil lawsuit next week.

“We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars and it was taken by people very close to her,” the Sun quoted a pal as saying. (ANI)
