Fake Chelios Scams Woman Out Of £100k

A woman has been scammed out of £100,000 of her savings by a man pretending to be Jason Statham.

The man contacted her via a fake Facebook page, pretending to be the actor.  He then demanded money, claiming his wages from his latest movie had been delayed.

The victim, who wished to remain anonymous, told BBC Radio Manchester she was targeted at her most vulnerable, having recently had to cope with the deaths of her mother and fiance.
