>Speaking about her alleged ordeal, Mary said she was looking for a relationship to ease university costs, saying Duncan offered her a £2,000 monthly allowance, shopping trips and unlimited access to his bank card in exchange for three or four dates a month. The university student said they exchanged pictures after she confirmed her age and location, and she reverse-searched his image online to see if it appeared on any other sites, but thought he was 'genuine'. Just more than a week later, Duncan persuaded Mary to send him her personal details under the guise of setting up a card on his American Express account for her, while he also conned her into telling him her NatWest customer ID, claiming it was so he could 'create a linked account' to her existing student account. But instead, the fraudster spent £2,000 on an Amex card he had set up in her name while she also used his bank card, believing he would pay off the debt. By accessing her online banking, Duncan moved the overdraft from the new account into her student account to make it appear that he had paid her the money, before asking for the same cash to be transferred into a 'cash ISA' he had set up for her. Mary said she was convinced that he was 'rich' and would not take her money, telling The Times: 'He made it so complicated and then made me feel stupid when I didn't understand it.'
