We have a number large number of GP scam victims who have lost very significant sums of money to fraud.

One GP scam victim agreed to tell his story to the Daily Mail newspaper- on an anonymous basis- as a warning to others.

The medic in question had lost a total of £200,000 to a sophisticated crypto investment scam. £50,000 of this lost money was a recovery scam by fraudsters claiming they could get his crypto money back. It is very common that scam victims get scammed again.

Like many scam victims, the fraud has created huge problems for the doctor at home and he is now getting divorced.

The doctor spoke openly to the Daily Mail in an emotional interview which laid bare the devastation caused by frauds and scams.

Martin Richardson, senior partner at Richardson Hartley Law, said: ‘It’s very common that people who have been scammed are then targeted by fraudsters again with false claims to recover their lost money.

‘The fraudster will know where money has been sent and then pretend that they have successfully traced the money. This is particularly true of crypto frauds.

‘This is a very sad case that has had huge ramifications for the GP emotionally as well as financially. No-one should underestimate the pain caused by fraud.

‘We have a number of GP scam victims who have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds. Very often they are in the form of investment scams. It seems that GPs are being targeted by scammers because they often have money to invest.’

Since the story was published by the Daily Mail we have managed to recover some of the GP’s money after representing him to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
