I know I bang on about having been defrauded, by one Mr.Banjo, but tonight's Word of Mouth has brought it all back in technicolour and reinforced my sense of injustice at the hands of both the fraudster and the criminal injustice system
The guest (Dr. Elizabeth Carter) on the programme - which is about linguistics - has studied how fraudsters operate and almost everything she talked about applied to how I was defrauded, how I was groomed. Yet at the end, she said contact Action Fraud, the police will help, it is a crime, but as regular readers to this column will know, the CPS chucked out my case. I believe that the tactics used to groom me, baffled them too so much so that they could not see what I know to be true, that I was both the victim of grooming and of fraud, so I think us victims need her to talk to the police more about how these crimes take place, so that on the rare occasion that they are able to take a case to court, they go through with it.
She also said talk to people, share with them let go of the shame, but I know that only made it worse as so many people were critical of me and of course sharing with the CPS was a nightmare. However, I really recommend the programme as she gave all sorts of tips re identifying the language and techniques used by fraudsters.
