Sue Holderness has warned people to be wary about online scams after she was targeted by fraudsters who conned her out of hundreds of pounds.

The Only Fools And Horses star, 73, was tricked by scammers who hacked into her computer and convinced her to pay them to 'fix' her online security.  

The actress is now supporting a campaign, Take Five To Stop Fraud, which provides advice to help people protect themselves from financial fraud. 

Speaking on Loose Women, she said: 'I think its a very important message because every time you turn on the radio or the television, somebody is talking about the scam or the fraud that they have suffered, and it seems to be mostly over-65s. 

'I fall very well into that category as I'm over 70. And they target us because we're nervous of the internet and I suppose because we've got pensions and savings and so we're the perfect people to have a go at.'
