A woman was scammed out of £150,000 by a man she'd never met after he contacted her on Facebook.
Carol*, from Liverpool, said the scammer first sent her a message through the social media site claiming to be a man from overseas who was going through a break-up. As their friendship developed, he promised to travel to the UK to meet up in person.
But it was around this time that the man started asking for funds in a case that draws parallels to the hit Netflix show the Tinder Swindler.
