DEBBIE JAMIESON/STUFF Emma Ferris talks about the day she learned she had been conned out of $300,000 and how she fought back. Six months into a romance with a man she met on Tinder, Emma Ferris discovers he has conned her out of $300,000. That begins a dangerous game of double-deceit in the pursuit of justice. It’s April 9, 2019, and Emma Ferris is walking into the Queenstown branch of Westpac where she gives her partner of six months a kiss and a cuddle. “I’m so sorry,” she says. “I don’t know why my family’s doing this.” “I’m sure we can sort it out, but this is bad,” responds the man she knew as Andrew Thomson until only a few hours earlier. Now she knows he is also Andrew Tonks, Andrew Tonks-Thomson and Andrew W C Tonks Thomson, a convicted conman.
