69-year-old widower found a new "love" and became homeless without a penny to his name (3 photos)

The pensioner sent his beloved money for housing construction, paid for her education and covered her medical expenses.





69-year-old former ambulance worker Rodrick Lodge from the UK lost his home and all his savings due to an affair with a fraudster.

In 2023, the pensioner lost his wife, with whom he had been married for 25 years. Over time, the man decided to start a new relationship. One day, an acquaintance of Mary introduced him to a single friend named Anita.

The widower began communicating with the woman via messenger. The couple's relationship became increasingly passionate and soon they decided to settle down together in Kenya and build a house there.

The pensioner sent his beloved money for the construction of housing, paid for her education and covered her medical expenses. His partner showed him photos from the construction site, but they never communicated via video link.



In December 2023, Lodge flew to Nairobi (Kenya), but his beloved did not meet him at the airport, explaining that she was currently in another city and could not come. At the same time, she continued to ask Lodge for money for urgent expenses.

Later, the Briton returned home and realized that he had been scammed: the man had lost all his savings and access to his accounts due to an overdraft. In order to punish the fraudster, he contacted the police and lawyers.

Since Lodge was no longer able to pay his utility bills, he had to move to a hotel provided by Guildford Council, where he had lived most of his life.
