She's being quite stoical about it, really, saying "at least they didn't physically break in to my house to steal from me" and "at least no-one got physically injured, it's not like I was mugged in the street", both of which have happened to friends of hers. I agree but I'm still outraged that someone would go to such lengths to trick an elderly lady.0 -

I noticed if you cut and paste the telephone number and put it back into google, it changes to a completely different number1 -

That was over ten years ago but Mum remembers the family and therefore thought she was talking to the real David Cambridge. He knew all sorts of stuff about the school and its staff, which can be found on the school's website of course. But he also knew that she now volunteers at the local food bank too and claimed to have mutual acquaintances there.
As well as Action Fraud I contacted the local police force on Tuesday because she's elderly and was scared for her safety: they've now spoken to the real David Cambridge and are certain it's not him running a scam on the side so this scumbag has impersonated him for his own sick personal gain.
It's all extremely creepy. The amount of effort they've put into profiling Mum and finding her back story is frightening. She was in the local paper when she retired so we think that might be how they started gathering information about her. I've now contacted Age Concern too, and am trying to persuade her to talk to the local newspaper in order to get the word out, but she's so embarrassed and scared of attracting more publicity that I don't think she'll do that.
In reality, so many people have a substantial online footprint.
I don't think she need be scared, but simply to understand that fraudsters find this easy work.
Maybe if you show her her online presence, she will understand better.
