A grandad-of-six was fleeced out of his life savings in the space of two hours by criminals pretending to be from his internet provider.

Distraught Roger Price, 74, of Burton Joyce in Nottinghamshire, was left in floods of tears by the incident. He had worked all his life as a graphic artist before retiring with his wife to spend more time with the family.

He had put money aside each month for his son's wedding next year and was saving his money for his kids and his grandchildren.

But on December 2, thieves decimated his savings account by taking out more than £9,000. It left Mr Price feeling foolish that he had been duped by criminals who pretended to be from Virgin Media and promised to fix the speed of his internet connection.
