Scammers conned Jennifer four times over six years, tricking her into trying to make payments of almost £50,000. But RBS has blamed the pensioner, who once worked as chief cashier for the bank, for falling for the intimidating scams. She first fell victim to scammers in December 2015 and was tricked into transferring £12,000. ‘It’s absolutely horrifying.’Scared about what would happen if she didn’t pay, Jennifer gave £19,000 to the criminals and two days later made another payment of £9,000 via telephone banking. But it was only after Lianne — who now has power of attorney over her aunt’s finances — contacted RBS this January that it agreed to refund the £9,500 Jennifer lost in May.
