Scam victim Veronica has revealed her shattering story that highlights how easy it is to be fooled by fraudulent activity. 

The 80-year-old lost almost $1 million to scam companies, her life savings after 30 years of work, with the activity taking a heavy toll on her health.

"At the beginning I couldn't be used for anything, for a good four weeks," she told Mornings host Liam Bartlett.

"Then I was on tranquilisers, and slowly, slowly I came to accept it, but it took a long time."

Fraud and crime specialist Ken Gamble, the executive chair of International Fraud Watch Global, told Bartlett that Veronica was one of several Australian victims of a sophisticated superannuation scam.
