A victim of Tinder swindler Frank Adozi felt disbelief and numb when she discovered the lying scammer was not the oil rig worker who was well-to-do and down to earth looking for love. The woman, who is older than 32-year-old asylum seeker Adozi, was duped into handing over more than £157,000 to him in just over two months.
As he was jailed for fraud at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, April 1, prosecutor Luc Chignell revealed the true extent of the impact on the victim in a statement she made for the hearing. For her, the situation had been "overwhelming" and "out of control".
Shocked, alone and scared, she now wakes up with night terrors, and felt shame and guilt and suffered anxiety. "It is inhumane what he has done," she said. He took advantage of her good nature and she feels he has taken her dignity away and is constantly fighting her emotions to keep, "my head head high".
