Hi Ian, I am sorry to hear you have had to endure this awful experience, scum bags taking advantage of people during these difficult times really is the bitter bottom. Will the bank cover your loss?

It happened to me whilst on holiday in Paphos. I went into a nightclub and when the bill for 4 beers came, it was £3000. I ran out of the club and back to the hotel, bouncers chased me but they were too fat - thugs to be able catch up with me and I got away. Cut a long story short, I called the police and went back to the club with the police. The manager was arrested and my bank in the UK - Nat West said the £3000 had been refunded. Whilst all that was going on, the Cyprus police seized my passport until their investigations had been completed. The bank cancelled the bank card.

The following day, I needed to focus and take my mind off things, so I did a parachute jump.

A few days later, I left the island and have never been back since.

Being defrauded is not so much about the money, it’s the feeling of being intruded upon and taken advantage of, not a nice feeling. I hope you get your money back.
