A British widow who lost up to £1 million in a series of romance scams has died in a road crash in Ghana after travelling to meet a man she had been in contact with online, an inquest has heard.
Janet Fordham, 69, suffered fatal injuries in a collision on February 14, 2023, after travelling to the country months earlier. Devon Coroner’s Court heard she had been the victim of sustained fraud over several years, which left her financially devastated and living in a caravan at her family home in Honiton.
