Pamela Gwinnett, described by media as a “black widow” fraudster, is arrested in Tenerife after allegedly swindling an elderly woman in the UK. Multiple outlets report that Gwinnett targeted 89-year-old Joan Green, persuading her to hand over financial control of almost £300,000. The accounts say the pensioner was left without control of the money, which Gwinnett is reported to have spent on personal luxuries, including Botox treatments and lavish meals. The story also states that Gwinnett had escaped to Tenerife following the scam and was subsequently arrested there. After her detention abroad, she is brought back to the UK to face justice, according to one report. Authorities are not described in the provided extracts as naming specific charges or court dates. Across the sources, the central points are the alleged scale of the fraud—reported as roughly £296,000 to £300,000—her use of deception to gain access to the victim’s finances, and her arrest in Tenerife and return to the UK.
