Hollyoaks actor Adam Rickitt was the victim of an elaborate payment scam where crooks made off with "tens of thousands of pounds".
Adam, 44, said he felt "stupid" for getting tricked and claimed that the convincing scammers "knew everything about him".
Wanting to share his story so others didn't fall for the same trick, he took to Instagram : "CONFESSION TIME! I know a lot of people will laugh at me for this...but I want to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.
