A great-gran, who was scammed out of £21,000 after she received a text message telling her she needed to order a coronavirus test, has got her money back after her daughter heard a radio ad.
Dorothy Baker was duped out of money by sophisticated fraudsters as she paid 'postage' for the 'test' which never arrived. The 81-year-old received a phone call from a man purporting to be from her bank some time later.
He said Dorothy’s account had been compromised and she needed to transfer all of her money out of it. As reported by the Mirror, the call was a scam.
