Woman conned out £133k savings by online date who faked his kidnap
Rachel’s nightmare began when she started speaking to a man named BarioShe was then scammed into believing the man was kidnapped abroad and within three months he had convinced her to send him more than £100,000 to save his life.She met him through online dating and he told her he lived in Coventry.
It was an elaborate scam with more than one person involved, as Rachel spoke to his daughter and his housekeeper.It was only when he didn’t arrive back at Heathrow Airport as planned, that Rachel travelled to his home in Coventry and discovered it was all a sophisticated lie.She said: “Creditors have said this is one of the worst cases of online fraud they have ever seen.
Rachel borrowed tens of thousands of pounds on credit cards and loans and sent it to the fraudster through her banks.And claims she also sent £62,350 through HSBC, totalling £98,775. However she has been left heartbroken after claiming her two banks – Santander and HSBC concluded that Rachel is not eligible for reimbursement of the money lost.“The banks have found me liable and I am left with suicidal thoughts.“The way I have been treated is shocking.”
“The code these banks have created and signed up to says they should support victims of crime, but where is the support? I am going to be left bankrupt and I am being chased every day for money I don’t have.Rachel claims she is now being chased by credit cards and loans and added: “I am fighting for my life now, I stand to lose everything I have ever worked for.
