An Oakham victim has been conned out of 70-thousand pounds.

It's after a man pretended to be an orthopaedic surgeon working in Syria.

Over the course of 3 months, he spoke to the person, requesting the cash to 'buy him out of his contract'.

Police say they're investigating the so called 'romance fraud'.
