A couple who tried to sell an Xbox so they could take their kids on holiday have been left devastated after falling victim to a "terrifying" scam.
Paul Molloy and his partner Charlotte were desperately trying to raise some cash so they could take their four children away to Wales - as finances have been tight amid the cost of living crisis.
The couple listed the games console on Facebook Marketplace, and an interested buyer contacted Paul - arranging to come and pick it up from their home in Ardwick.
