Romance scam victim 'ashamed' of losing £26,000
A fraud victim has told of how he was conned out of £26,000 in two years, in a so-called romance scam.
Graham Stickley was befriended online by a 'woman', who asked for money for flights from America to the UK.
He told BBC Radio 5 live's Victoria Derbyshire he was "ashamed" of falling for the scam but insisted "it could happen to anybody."
It comes after Action Fraud UK revealed romance scammers stole £18 million from British victims in the last year.
