Lisa Nock, 44, was conned out of $22,000 when she was tricked into believing she had struck up a two-year-long online romance with the 46-year-old Bondi Vet star.
The fraudsters used emotionally manipulative messages to convince the pensioner she was in a romantic relationship with the star, she told Melbourne radio hosts Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, and Nick Cody on Thursday. They first made contact with an 'innocent message' on Instagram while posing as Chris, before moving Lisa to WhatsApp to continue the manipulation. Lisa said she was ultimately conned out of her life savings under false pretences, which included a $12,000 fake hospital bill and a whopping $2000 fee for an in-person meet and greet.

'It all started perfectly innocently, and then he took me over to WhatsApp on a +68 number,' she recalled. 'He said,"Honey, I need your assistance. I need $12,000 to get me out of hospital",' because he was in Africa at the time checking on animals over there.'I said,"I don't have much of an income but I can sponsor you about 20 British pounds a week but that's it", and I carried on doing that until December 2022.'

I didn't know what to look out for.'

Brendan asked Lisa why she wasn't concerned that a famous TV presenter would find himself stuck in an African hospital in urgent need of $12,000.'There were questions going around in my head like,"Didn't you take out travel insurance or medical insurance?"''I'm not angry, but I would like some answers,' Lisa said.
