A Scots mum was conned out of more than £2,500 by a callous scammer who pretended to be her daughter.
Sheelagh Stewart, from East Calder, believed she was talking to daughter Beth, 22, when she received a message saying she had dropped her phone down the toilet and it had been soaked with water.
The 65-year-old pharmacy worker said the convincing messages 'from Beth' explained that she was using a temporary number because of the damage to her device.
