A great-grandmother from Nottingham was scammed out of £21,000 after she received a text message telling her she needed to order a coronavirus test.
Dorothy Baker, 81, was duped out of money by sophisticated fraudsters as she payed 'postage' for the 'test' which never arrived.
Some time later, Dorothy received a phone call from a man purporting to be from her bank, saying Dorothy’s account had been compromised and she needed to transfer all of her money out of it. The call was a scam.
