A woman lost all her savings and can't afford to return home after she was "scammed" by people posing as a global company.
Bhumi Pahilajani was looking for work after finishing her degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Liverpool. She signed up to a platform that allows freelancers to be put in contact with companies that are hiring.
Bhumi, who lives in Kensington, was contacted by an account appearing to be offering her work at Toptal - a global company that offers remote work in a number of fields. She made arrangements with those who contacted her and believed she had started working for Toptal on January 4, when she was offered a contract to work on a project worth around £1,000.
