00:00My sister had been talking to somebody on Tinder, and he was a real man apparently,
00:05you know, a very good-looking guy. God, you know, really good-looking. To cut a long story short,
00:11she had given him £95,000. And my sister is an educated woman. She had borrowed money from my
00:20mother, had taken loans out in my mother's name, had asked lots of friends, lots of money.
00:26For him?
00:26Yes, all for him.
00:27How long had she been? Had she met him?
00:29First things first.
00:31I think she had met him once. And anyway, and in the end, she told me he worked in Dubai,
00:37and because he didn't get his tax from his employer, he needed to pay some money towards
00:42them, blah, blah, blah. Thankfully, we got most of the money back. And I know that more banks now
00:49are more kinder and more considerate in regards to this. But it nearly tore our family apart.
