A family has claimed their cancer stricken mum was scammed out of her life savings by a Leeds man who convinced her to send him £9,000 in video game gift cards in the years before her death.
Kayleigh Allen-Heyes' mum Lindsey Heyes, 45, passed away in July after a battle with terminal thymus and breast cancer. But the 21-year-old says Lindsey had been scammed out of all of her money before she died.
Lindsey believed that she was in a relationship with a man who claimed he was in the US Army and that he was currently based in Leeds. He convinced the mum-of-three that if she sent him gift cards he would be able to send her a huge sum of money - ranging from £25,000 to £75,000.
