Sara Terry claims she wasn’t really looking for someone to love when she agreed to her friends’ suggestions to try internet dating. But when an email landed in her inbox from a man who seemed to be her mirror image, she admits her pulse began to race.

They had a similar view of life, enjoyed the same sports and both were dog owners with much-loved Labradors. So it was no surprise that, when she met Peter Berry a few weeks later, his charm, impeccable manners and soft green-blue eyes melted her heart.

What’s more, the feeling seemed mutual. ‘Wow!’ he texted her straight after they parted. ‘I cannot believe we have so much in common.’ Within a couple of weeks he had proposed marriage and moved in. ‘I felt I had met the right man,’ she says. ‘He was so warm and funny.’

Today, eight months later, she is alone (…) and £35,000 poorer, a victim of one of the most prolific fraudsters ever to be dragged before the British courts.

For 20 years Peter Berry has made a speciality of preying on single women in their 30s and 40s. Using newspaper adverts and internet dating sites he seduced then fleeced them.

The investigating officers believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. There could be hundreds more victims,’ says Detective Constable Derek Farrow, who led the case against Berry.

‘I believe that Berry is an accomplished, cold and calculating villain who could easily have taken more than £1million. ‘He is just brilliant at gaining people’s confidence and creating an image of a successful, affluent man.’
