The pair said they can't bear the shame of admitting they fell victim to the conmen, but have spoken anonymously to try to warn others.
A couple from Gosport say they have been left traumatised after being scammed out of £70,000 by a fraudster who claimed to be a police officer.
The scam started with a phone call, supposedly from DC Tom Evans who gave his badge number to the pair. "DC Tom Evans" told the couple somebody had been apprehended from Fareham Barclays and therefore they should not mention anything to anyone because it could compromise the investigation.'It's my twin' Fraudster who claimed to be injured caught doing martial arts
Det Con, Owain Davies, Hampshire & IOW Police, said: "The con artists are very ruthless people, they act and sound on the telephone exactly as I do - a police officer, somebody that can communicate quite well, somebody that says the correct phrases and that's the key to getting those people hooked into what they're saying."
