The chilling four words scammer said to me after draining my bank account and leaving my fashion label on the brink

TOP influencer Abbie Blyth has revealed the chilling words a scammer said to her after draining her fashion label's bank account

The 29-year-old, from Glasgow, nearly lost her clothing brand BLY after hackers wiped out the business's cash.

The former makeup artist had used £20,000 of her own money to get the label up and running after helping her mum and dad buy a new home.

She said she was "quite proud" of the amount of savings she had managed to put away and thought launching BLY would help her to become even more financially stable.

But when the scam happened, it was just five days after she broke up with her ex and had moved out of their house to live with her parents.

"It completely wiped out my savings as I had poured everything else into BLY", she previously revealed on BBC show The Agency: Unfiltered.

"They took every penny from me, and it put me back in every aspect, in my personal life and my business."

Now, for the first time, Abbie has spoken in detail about how the scam unfolded in 2023.

Appearing on the , hosted by Scots reality stars Erica Roberts and Meryl Williams, she said: "Somebody kept phoning me and I kept declining.

"[Then I got notifications] like your bank asks do you want to accept this transaction. It was like thousands of pounds, I kept putting no.

"So then when the bank phoned they were like 'it’s the fraud department' and I was like that makes sense.

"I said ‘I can't speak to you right now, can you wait till I'm home?’ and they were like ‘yeah we'll phone you back’. I should have realised that’s not normal but I just wasn't in the right frame of mind."
