A former firefighter mum says she lost her life savings after she fell for an investment scam.
Cath Mulalley, 55, a former London Fire Brigade member, emigrated to New Zealand with her husband in 2008 with the couple welcoming a baby four years later. In June, she received a call from a hoax advisor who convinced her to transfer $325,000 NZD (£170,000) into a new Citibank account.
While the Bank of New Zealand managed to recover $67,000 (£35,000), Cath tragically lost the rest of her money. The cash, which came from her pension, was intended to be invested for her daughter Eva, 10, the Mirror reports.
