A mum has issued a stark warning to holiday makers hoping to head to Ireland after losing £250 in an elaborate Facebook scam.
Schoolteacher Catriona Morgan thought she was putting the money down as a deposit for a week long stay in a Donegal holiday home with a hot tub after coming across an ad on Facebook Marketplace.
The Derry native thought she had found a "good deal" and was hoping for a "much-needed family break" after her brother, sister-in-law and their children moved to Derry from Australia.
