An iconic character from EastEnders is scammed twice in one week, leaving her in tears.

"Jean, my heart breaks for you," Stacey exclaimed as she hugged her mother tightly. It was a sad day in Albert Square as news spread that Jean Slater had lost all of her money in EastEnders. Everyone was shocked and saddened by the unfortunate turn of events.

Just when things seemed to be looking up for Jean, with the discovery of a forgotten pension pot, her hopes were quickly dashed. She had received a windfall of £12,000, a life-changing amount for someone like her. But the so-called "advisors" she spoke to on the phone had other plans for her money. They convinced her to invest in order to maximize profits and fulfill her dream of retiring in Greece.

Jean was encouraged by her new friend, Kojo Asare, who saw an opportunity for her to become a partner in an Australian tea farm. It seemed too good to be true, and unfortunately, it was. Jean soon realized that she had fallen victim to a scam and had lost everything.

In tonight's episode, Stacey was surprised to find her mum in a good mood. Jean explained that she had contacted a solicitor who promised to help her get her money back. Stacey couldn't help but feel hopeful, but also suspicious. She decided to seek answers from Jack Branning at the café.

After showing Jack the information about the solicitor, he confirmed that the crime reference number listed was fake. It was a devastating blow for Jean, who had already lost so much. Stacey was determined to get to the bottom of it and find out how this had happened.

Back at home, Stacey asked Jean if she had given the solicitor her bank account password. It was then that Jean realized she had been scammed again. Later that evening, Jean was found crying in the kitchen by Harvey Monroe. She was horrified by the realization that she had lost everything.

Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw shared that Jean's story will shed light on the extreme tactics scammers use to gain a victim's trust and take advantage of them. Not only did Jean lose her pension money, but she also had to deal with the emotional toll of telling her family and friends about what had happened.

Nick Stapleton from Scam Safe also praised EastEnders for bringing attention to the issue of scams and fraud in a mainstream platform. He emphasized that it is not just about the money lost, but also the emotional and psychological impact it has on the victims.
