46-year-old London single mother loses £18,000 to dating app scams, reports to Action Fraud.
Gabriella Kranyik, a 46-year-old single mother from North-West London, lost £18,000 to two scams after connecting with someone on the dating app Happn. Initially, she lost about £10,000 in a fake trading scheme, then fell for a second scam while seeking online work. Struggling to repay borrowed funds, she created a fundraising page for rent and bills. Action Fraud received her reports but did not escalate them to police for investigation.
