A vulnerable woman has spoken about how she lost £500,000 of her savings to scammers online.
Appearing on This Morning, talking to hosts Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, widow Anne Larkin told of how she gave money away to strangers after losing her husband of 34 years. She turned to social media for comfort in search of companionship but was met by fraudsters instead.
The grieving wife lost her husband Graham, 55, in November 2019 following a short illness. She went on to receive a sizeable death-on-service pay out following his death because he was several years away from retirement. In total, Anne received £1.2million in total.
