SICKO EMPTIES OAP'S BANK ACCOUNT

By Charlie Rowney

The man turned up at the 81-year-old’s door last Tuesday morning in overalls telling her he thought she needed some work done to her ceiling.

The trusting OAP let the sick scam artist into her Annick Road home at around lunchtime, but he demanded money up front before carrying out the work.

And when the woman offered him all the cash she had in her purse, the dodgy tradesman told her it wasn’t enough and persuaded her to hand over her bank card and PIN, claiming he would go to the cash machine for her.

But the scumbag tradesman, who managed to withdraw a three-figure sum of money from the pensioner’s account, didn't come back and the woman eventually contacted police.
