Mourners ‘scammed’ in pub boss funeral stream con
Recently, mourners were shocked to discover that they had been ‘scammed’ during the livestream of a pub boss’s funeral. The funeral service was being streamed online to allow friends and family who couldn’t attend in person to pay their respects.
However, it was later revealed that the funeral stream was a con, with viewers being asked to pay a fee to access the service. Many mourners were outraged at the deception and felt that they had been exploited during a vulnerable time.
The pub boss’s family has since apologized for the incident and offered refunds to those who were affected. They have also promised to take steps to ensure that such a scam does not happen again in the future.
It serves as a cautionary tale for those who may be considering livestreaming their loved one’s funeral or memorial service. It is important to ensure that the service is legitimate and that there are no hidden fees or ulterior motives.
