For my mum who was cruelly scammed

Donation protected
Hi, I’m Michelle and I’ve set up a go fund me page for my mum who was cruelly targeted today by scammers. Normally my mum is on the ball with people who make scam phone calls but today she fell for someone who was pretending to be an undercover police officer. This is a new scam where they are claiming to be officers over the phone and telling people to withdraw large amounts of money so they can check serial numbers due to fraud. They stay on the telephone until the victim is back at their home address and collect the money in person therefore there are no traces or protection present for victims, so these criminals can get away with it.

my mum is currently undergoing daily radiotherapy due to cancer and hasn’t been herself, it isn’t like her to fall for scams but today unfortunately she did. A total amount of £4,800 was passed over to a complete stranger and she’s absolutely mortified, upset and distraught about the whole situation.

any little help would be appreciated as this was some of her life savings. She is vulnerable and going through enough, she doesn’t need this, especially right before Christmas and I’m hoping that even if I don’t raise the full amount, a little help would cheer her up. Some of the money taken was her heating allowance as she is 75 years of age.
Thankyou
Michelle
