Divorcee is scammed out of £4,000 by Nigerian 'fiancé' who proposed one month after they met online - telling her he needed the cash so he could be with her in the UK
A divorcée in her sixties has revealed how she was duped by an online con artist who targeted her through a reputable dating website.
The woman, revealed only as Sheila, told Channel 5 show Secrets Of The Scammers how she was contacted by a man claiming to be called Glen Almond and got caught up in a whirlwind romance.
She ended up giving away £4,000 before she discovered she was the victim of an elaborate scam based in Nigeria. Even to this day, Sheila has no idea who she was actually talking to or where her money went.
Glen told Sheila he was a captain in the Canadian Navy and was a widow currently based in Afghanistan as a medical doctor working in a field hospital.
