A group of lads heading to Spain on their first holiday were devastated after finding out they'd been scammed out of thousands of pounds.
The teenagers were ready to fly from Newcastle International Airport to Magaluf on Monday to celebrate their friend's 18th birthday when they discovered their hotel accommodation hadn't been paid.
The 13 lads, from Chester-le-Street, County Durham, believed they had paid £12,500 to a third party travel representative who made a booking through Blue Sea Holidays for their flights and 10 nights all inclusive at a hotel.
