In his late 70s, a German investor had lost all his life savings of around €400,000 to the scams of German Uwe Lenhoff. In his desperation, the investor was approached by a Fund Recovery scam promising him to recover the funds. But first, they said, they need a few thousand Euros initial payment. The old man had borrowed the money for the initial payment from a friend. The Fund Recovery scammers also took this money from him. In his desperation, the 80-year-old took his own life last week.
