Gambler loses £1,300 jackpot at the expense of scammer nearby

A gambler who won £1,300 in the Snooker World Championship final posted his betting slip on Facebook, and a fraudster stole all of his winnings.

Just thirty minutes earlier, he was shocked to learn that his winnings had been claimed 100 miles away when he went to pick them up from Coral bookmakers.

Scammers are thought to have been able to capture a screenshot of the ticket and then scan the barcode.
