Felicity Campbell was tricked into transferring 20,000 of her money to criminals.
The scam started when she responded to a fake TV licensing email and entered her credit card details.
Five days later , she received a call from a man claiming to be from her bank.
She was persuaded to share her screen with the man on WhatsApp .
This allowed him to see what was on her phone, including that she had other accounts.
At one point he persuaded her to take out a 25,000 loan, apparently to “block” another loan he claimed had been taken out.
Mrs Campbell has since managed to recover some of the money from her account.
