'I’ve never felt anger like it, I keep being told there’s not much I can do, but without closure I just can’t settle.”
A woman from Lincoln says she ‘hasn’t slept for weeks’ after being scammed for a £700 deposit for a holiday to be the maid of honour at her best friend’s wedding in Cyprus.
She was somehow diverted to a website which had a section asking for a phone number to be contacted back on, which she filled in and was eventually called back by an operator who confirmed some details with her. She was later contacted by the genuine travel agent to request payment for the holiday, which immediately rang alarm bells for Hayley after her recent encounter with the other ‘operator’ over the phone. After checking their details, the travel agent said they had “no record of payment.”
A call log traced the number to Scottish-based travel agency, who told Hayley that they had no idea who the ‘operator’ she spoke to was, leaving her at a loose end, and perhaps well and truly realising that she had in fact been scammed out of her hard-earned money. Thankfully, Hayley’s family members and a sibling of the bride-to-be have offered to help Hayley pay for travel to the wedding, meaning she will not miss such an important day in her best friend’s life.
