Scammers pretending to work for online bank Monzo tricked a young professional into handing them her bank cards before stealing her life savings of more than £6,500.
Earlier this month, Linjing Peng, a 31-year-old designer who lives in Seven Sisters, north London, spent hours on the phone with a scammer posing as a member of Monzo’s fraud and security team claiming he wanted to help her evade a “group of hackers”.
