There’s obviously a serious side to this because many people old and young alike fall victim to financial fraud – and it’s a terrible thing – but it shouldn’t have happened to Chris.
She was apparently sensible and pragmatic and able to make a rational decision for herself when she chose to sell Woodbine Cottage. And now she does something so foolish. Really?!
Yes, it’s easy to be taken in by fraudsters and perhaps she wanted to show that she was a smart, independent investor who didn’t need the likes of Peggy or Lillian telling her what to do, but if she thought for one moment that a scheme connected to Matt Crawford was legitimate – she must have let the potential for extra pound signs rule her head.
