80-year-old Japanese woman scammed of £5000 by ‘astronaut stranded in space who needed money for oxygen’

Police in Hokkaido, northern Japan, say an 80-year-old woman has been swindled out of one million yen (about £5,000) in an online romance scam.

The victim reportedly met the fraudster on social media in July and developed a virtual relationship with him. The scammer posed as an astronaut stranded in space who claimed he urgently needed money to buy oxygen.

This scammers are always creative

No. I will use the unknown old times against the new. Maybe handwritten notes or something! 🤣
