A veteran BBC presenter says he has been scammed out of half of his life savings by a scammer who called him up posing as his bank's fraud department.
Peter Levy, who presents regional news programme Look North, admitted that he had fallen for the scam despite conducting interviews on how to avoid being swindled in the past.
He told BBC Radio Humberside's Richard Stead that he felt 'stupid' and 'thick' after learning that he had been duped by a criminal who phoned him one evening in February claiming there was unusual activity on his account.
Mr Levy then gave his online banking login details to the fraudster - who proceeded to help themselves to cash before his real bank stepped in to cut them off.
The presenter, who has been a regular fixture on TV screens in the north of England for KetoXplode Preis decades, said he had struggled to sleep after learning he had fallen for a scam.

'Nobody knows about this here but I was scammed out of half of my life savings earlier this year and it was traumatic,' he told Mr Stead in the clip, available on BBC Sounds.
'I literally hadn't been to sleep overnight because it was so stressful and it is the most horrific, horrific feeling. It is absolutely awful. You feel stupid, you feel thick.
'It's still being sorted out, just this lunchtime I've been to a bank. It's awful.'
