Only Fools And Horses star reveals they were conned by online scammers
ONLY Fools And Horses star Sue Holderness has told how she was conned by online scammers.
Sue, wide-boy Boycie’s wife Marlene in the show, lost hundreds of pounds when targeted twice.
She is now backing a campaign giving advice on financial fraud.
Sue, 73, told ITV’s Loose Women her computer was hacked by crooks who got her to ring up and pay for online security.
She said: “They target us because we’re nervous of the internet and I suppose because we’ve got pensions and savings.”
She said her experience was “terribly alarming” but the second time she realised and called her bank who pointed her to Action Fraud.
Sue said: “If you think you’ve been scammed, don’t be embarrassed.
“They’re very sophisticated criminals. You’re not being stupid. They’re just terribly clever.”
