Robbed By Scammers

Never one to overspend, yoga teacher Laurie McAllister, 26, has always thought of herself as being good with money. For years, she even resisted the lure of having a credit card to avoid the temptation of impulse buys.

But eventually she decided to apply for one – and was pleased to be accepted straight away. Laurie knew a good credit score could make all the difference if she wanted to apply for a loan or mortgage in the future, so she was determined to stay within her limit and pay her bills on time.

What she never anticipated was becoming a victim of financial fraud. But when Laurie fell for an email scam, criminals were able to use her card to finance their lifestyle. We asked Laurie to explain what happened – and how we can all avoid similar scams…
