There doesn't seem to be a day that passes that you don't hear about a new scam doing the rounds or experience one for yourself - but some are more horrendous and heartless than others.
One woman felt the need to share her horrific ordeal with social media users to warn others to not believe the scam, which she almost fell for.
Beth Royce, who posts on TikTok as @bethroyce, warned others to "watch out for this scam" as she recalled the incident to her social media followers, explaining that her eyes were red because she'd been crying thanks to the scammer.
