Grieving Scots widow targeted by Amazon scam given £2k cash back by bank
25.05.2022 - 07:03 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A grieving Scots widow whose bank denied her fraud claim after callous scammers stole £2,000 from her savings has received her money back after the Daily Record highlighted her plight.
Margaret Eggatt fell victim to a sophisticated text scam from an unknown number stating she had made a payment to Amazon.
A con artist posed as an Amazon employee and managed to gain access to the pensioner's bank account.
The 68-year-old, who lives in Livingston, was having sleepless nights after Santander refused to pay back the stolen cash, which included her pension and PIP payment.
Delighted Margaret is now over the moon and looking forward to a dream two-week cruise around the Mediterranean in a few weeks that had been planned before the theft.
She said: "If it wasn't for the Daily Record then I wouldn't have gotten my money back.
"I don't know what state I would have been in or what I would have done.
"I would be sitting with no money.
"A huge weight is off my shoulders now and when Santander phoned I couldn't believe it.
"I am over the moon.
"I am a bit nervous about my cruise as it's the first time I'll have been away without [her husband] Michael but I am looking forward to it.
"Getting the money back before the cruise is such a relief as I was in debt."
Margaret received a text message from an unknown number stating she had made a £79.99 payment to Amazon.
As she doesn't have an account with the retail giant, she called the number to query the payment and claims a man who said he worked for the e-commerce company answered.
He apologised for the business' mistake and told Margaret to download an app called AnyDesk to get a refund.
