Fleetwood Mac backup singer lost more than $1 million in romance scam
Fox News
Former Fleetwood Mac backup singer Liza Jane Likins had nothing left and lost more than $1 million in an intricate online catfish scam run by a Nigerian con artist.
Over the course of two years, Likins became involved with a "very complicated scam" by a man who claimed to be an Australian gold miner and who wooed her over the Internet with stolen photos of a German life coach. "When my husband passed away, on my Facebook profile, I put in there that … I was now a widow. Big mistake. That's like putting a sign on yourself that says scam bait." "I would go to the airport, and of course, . . . that flight did not exist and neither did he." Tracy Wright is an entertainment reporter for Fox News Digital.

"I had nothing left. I sold my house," Likins exclusively told Fox News Digital. "This scammer wanted me to sell my car, but fortunately that was when I saw the ‘Social Catfish’ show, so I didn't sell my car.
