Elderly widower Thomas was an easy target for conmen but now he's taking sweet revenge

Widower Thomas Wyness is fighting back after being targeted by scammers
For nine years, widower Thomas Wyness was bombarded with letters telling him he'd won high-value cash prizes, televisions and cars. All he needed to do, the letters told him, was send a small sum of money to an overseas postbox to claim it. 
But while the prizes never arrived, his losses quickly added up. Thomas, now 90, estimates he sent around £11,000 to countries including the Czech Republic, Sweden and Hong Kong. 
But now he is fighting back. Thomas is one of more than 1,700 scam victims recruited by National Trading Standards (NTS) to dish the dirt on scammers.
