Vulnerable elderly individuals risk losing their life savings to fraudsters who exploit their trust. Pamela Gwinnett stole £300,000 from 89-year-old Joan Green, spending it on things like Botox and a car. She was sentenced last October to six years for theft and fraud by abuse of position, but fled to Tenerife and is subject to a confiscation order under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
