Wow just wow!!!
The author was totally taken in by an extremely charming con man called Mark Acklom.
Absolutely fascinating and shocking account of the whole bizarre story.
He was such a clever scammer he insidiously swindled her for thousands of pounds to the point she lost her job, her friends, family her home, money for her daughters college funds and all her savings.
He was such a grand master at the tall stories he got her to believe he was on missions as he was a spy!!!
Its insane to think in these days of people being so wary of safety and security especially in the online world that a full grown woman could be essentially "groomed" to the point she lost everything in her life.
But it just shows how scarily easy these things are done when you sadly trust the wrong person with virtually no scruples.
This was a mind blowing, great true crime read.
