"This guy Turner basically told the woman that he was working on oil rigs off the coast," he said.

"One particularly sad aspect to that case was these people posing as Turner online actually came up with this story that he was stranded on an oil rig due to COVID, and he unable to travel to Dubai and to collect cash there that he was owed.Conor said when she got there, a group of men told her they could release Turner's funds for a payment €650,000.

"It was only after a prolonged period after that that she became very weary of them, and she approached the Guards."
