A West Lothian mum has fallen victim to a scam from a callout individual posing as her daughter.
Sheelagh Stewart, from East Calder, has been left distraught after losing £2,500 to the scammer as she believed that she was speaking to her daughter, Beth, but little did she know, the person on the other end was pulling the wool over her eyes.
In a ploy to con vulnerable people out of money that has been circulating around the country for several months now, the scammer, posing as Beth, 22, messaged Sheelagh to say that 'she' has dropped her phone down the toilet and it was ruined.
