'We can't tell our children' Wiltshire couple scammed out of over £100,000

Graham Rogers on Âé¶¹Éç Radio Wiltshire

Available for over a year

A couple from West Wiltshire have told Âé¶¹Éç Wiltshire their own greed took over when scammers cheated them out of more than £100,000. The pair in their 70's transferred thousands to foreign bank accounts, after an American company promised to buy shares from them which would have mounted to a £500,000 jackpot. They say it's a terrible secret they hold and haven't even told their family. 18 months on they are still being plagued with bogus calls from conmen and believe their details have been passed on.
