A cash-strapped widow has revealed how she has been left £1,200 in debt after being conned by her Italian lover who she met on Facebook. Disabled Chrissie Williams, 52, from Bath, took out a loan and pawned her wedding ring in order to bail out Matteo Pozzelli (not his real name) after he said he'd had a run of bad luck financially. She discovered she had been conned after giving him more money for a flight from Africa - where claimed he was working on an oil rig - to fly to the UK to meet her. As the grandmother-of-seven, who is unemployed and on disability benefits due to a chronic bowel problem, was waiting for her lover to arrive, one of his 'friends' called with 'bad news'.
