Scammers posing as Amazon staff snatched more than £2,000 from a grieving widow's bank account.
Margaret Eggett, 68, received a text message from an unknown number stating she had made a £79.99 payment to Amazon. The pensioner, who lives alone after her husband Michael died last year, called the phone number to query the payment because she didn't hold an account with the retail giant.
Margaret said she spoke to a man who claimed to work for the e-commerce company. She said the man apologised for the business' mistake and told Margaret to download an app called AnyDesk to get a refund.
