A 70-year-old invested £100,000 in what he believed was a legitimate bond. After realizing it was a scam, he sought legal help from the National Fraud Helpline. AIB refunded the full amount, plus interest and compensation. The victim stays anonymous, even from family members. A lawyer noted the case's strength due to lacking checks, crediting AIB for quickly resolving the issue. The scam was highly convincing, illustrating that anyone can fall victim to similar fraud.
Despite this happy outcome, the victim wishes to remain anonymous as not even his immediate family know about his misfortune.
He is both pleased and relieved. It's been an incredibly stressful time for him thinking he had lost such a large sum of money.
It was an incredibly convincing scam that shows anyone can fall victim to fraud.
Credit to AIB who have now resolved this issue fairly and in good time.
