We have more newsletters Show MeNo thanks, close See our Privacy Notice A Co-op Bank customer has been left feeling " demoralised" after being scammed out of £100,000 life savings. Paul Henderson received three separate phone calls from who he believed was The Co-operative bank fraud department - but it turned out to be scammers. Paul, who is a retired university lecturer, had requested a new Visa card two weeks previous to this after someone had tried to make a fraudulent transaction of £30 using his account. Paul told LeicestershireLive it was out-of-area number that called him. He said: "I usually don’t answer those, so I just let it ring, but after the third time, I’d had enough, so I answered because I just wanted to get rid of them. They claimed that they were the Co-operative Bank fraud department. The caller claimed that two transactions were made from my account, one for £50 and one for £30 and they asked if I'd authorised them - which I had not." READ MORE Met Office announces full list of areas in UK set for snow today Paul said that the caller asked him questions to verify his identity, including which school he had gone to. He added: "This is when I got a little suspicious because he asked for my first school, and my memorable security word was my last school. I said an answer which the caller claimed was wrong and then he asked another security question and in hindsight, Co-op would never do that. "It went on for about seven minutes and right at the end, he said he was sending a security code to my phone, and that’s when I fell for it. I read back the code that had been sent by text, and I later realised that while the person was talking to me they were changing my bank account details." Powered By 10 10 Man scammed out of life savings Share Next Stay When he checked his account, his £100,000 life savings had been taken. He said: “When I contacted Co-op they told me that perhaps my computer wasn’t cleaned properly, but I’d taken it to a trusted person that I’d dealt with for more than 30 years. I have no idea how they got access because the Co-Op said that they have measures in place to prevent these things but that hasn’t happened in this case. Since then the whole thing has been static and my account has been blocked again.” SIMILAR ARTICLES TO THIS Powered by Barclays makes £15.69 discovery affecting all credit and debit card holders Comments Suspected fraudster, 66, arrested over alleged £270k building scam Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to parents 'no mum or dad wants to hear' Comments People can get £300 towards Cost of Living but there's six days left Comments NS&I breaks silence over £24 Premium Bonds charge and 'will look into it' Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to British Gas, OVO, Octopus customers with direct debit Comments Amazon Fire TV Stick owners could have bank accounts raided in fresh crackdown Comments Smirking conman left elderly 'in fear' after £35,000 two-year scam Comments Martin Lewis issues Chase bank warning and explains 'workaround' for customers Comments NS&I issues Premium Bonds code which means you're owed thousands Comments Nine money and Cost of Living changes in March - starting from this weekend Comments Martin Lewis issues Bitcoin warning and explains 'two simple reasons' Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to people who have mortgage and says 'it's time' Comments There's still a way for people to get £299 February Cost of Living Payment - but they must act quickly Comments Lloyds Bank issues urgent warning to every customer and says 'be wary' Comments Co-op to pay compensation for customers 'even if they haven't complained' Comments Lloyds Bank issues warning to anybody with over £1,870 in their account Comments Lloyds Bank warns 'it's cruel and clever' as customers have accounts wiped Comments Two words fraudsters pretending to be police or bank will use to steal your savings 1 Comments DWP in hot water after couple 'wrongly threatened' in row over 88p Comments Barclays makes £15.69 discovery affecting all credit and debit card holders Comments Suspected fraudster, 66, arrested over alleged £270k building scam Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to parents 'no mum or dad wants to hear' Comments People can get £300 towards Cost of Living but there's six days left Comments NS&I breaks silence over £24 Premium Bonds charge and 'will look into it' Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to British Gas, OVO, Octopus customers with direct debit Comments Amazon Fire TV Stick owners could have bank accounts raided in fresh crackdown Comments Smirking conman left elderly 'in fear' after £35,000 two-year scam Comments Martin Lewis issues Chase bank warning and explains 'workaround' for customers Comments NS&I issues Premium Bonds code which means you're owed thousands Comments Nine money and Cost of Living changes in March - starting from this weekend Comments Martin Lewis issues Bitcoin warning and explains 'two simple reasons' Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to people who have mortgage and says 'it's time' Comments There's still a way for people to get £299 February Cost of Living Payment - but they must act quickly Comments Lloyds Bank issues urgent warning to every customer and says 'be wary' Comments Co-op to pay compensation for customers 'even if they haven't complained' Comments Lloyds Bank issues warning to anybody with over £1,870 in their account Comments Lloyds Bank warns 'it's cruel and clever' as customers have accounts wiped Comments Two words fraudsters pretending to be police or bank will use to steal your savings 1 Comments DWP in hot water after couple 'wrongly threatened' in row over 88p Comments Barclays makes £15.69 discovery affecting all credit and debit card holders Comments Suspected fraudster, 66, arrested over alleged £270k building scam Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to parents 'no mum or dad wants to hear' Comments People can get £300 towards Cost of Living but there's six days left Comments NS&I breaks silence over £24 Premium Bonds charge and 'will look into it' Comments Martin Lewis issues warning to British Gas, OVO, Octopus customers with direct debit Comments Amazon Fire TV Stick owners could have bank accounts raided in fresh crackdown Comments He said: “I’ve been around for a long time, I’m quite computer savvy, and I know all about scammers, but if I thought it was a trick I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d just advise anyone with an accessible bank account with a large amount of money to put it somewhere else like an account that you have to give notice before taking out money. “I feel demoralised and I don't want anyone to go through what I've been through. I don’t live an extravagant lifestyle but I was leaving this money behind for my children.” A spokesperson from Co-op Bank said: “We are seeing fraudsters becoming more sophisticated in their approach to scams, even going so far as to impersonate members of staff, and are asking our customers to remain vigilant and never trust anyone that makes an unsolicited call. , "Protecting our customer from fraud is of the utmost importance and we are pleased that in this case, we were able to act quickly to prevent further transactions on Mr Henderson’s account and fully refund the amount lost.” READ NEXT: * New car tax bands announced and some drivers will pay 'three times more' * DWP tells mum to pay back £24,000 Universal Credit after saying she was eligible * ITV Dancing on Ice coach Dan Whitson breaks silence on Greg Rutherford's 'really bad' accident * Millions in UK set for 'unfair' price hike after it 'wasn't addressed' in Budget * Octopus Energy issues £238 update to millions of customers and says 'good news' Share this on Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
