A bride-to-be fears she may have to cancel her dream wedding after falling victim to a convincing telephone scam, where fraudsters stole nearly £12,000 of her savings.
Carol Duffy, 57, said the scammer claimed to be from her bank as she was duped into authorising two "dummy payments" totalling £11,800.
The gran from Solihull, West Midlands, now fears she will have to cancel her wedding to partner Martin Downes, booked for April 30, claiming her bank has refused to refund the majority of the cash.
