A couple who lost more than £2,500 on a trip they had been planning for eight years only found out they had been scammed when they arrived packed and ready to fly at Heathrow Airport.
Dinesh, 80, and Shashikala Jansari, 78, from Leicester, believed they had booked their two-month trip to visit relatives in Gujarat, India, through travel company Expedia, and had not suspected they had been tricked until arriving at the airline check-in desk.
”My husband was just standing there, we were shocked,” said Shashikala. “I just thought, what shall I do?”
Now the couple are warning others in their position to be aware scammers “are everywhere” and to seek help if you are not confident online.
