A mum with rare sleep disorder has been scammed - after filling in her bank details on a dodgy site while online shopping in her sleep.

Kelly Knipes, 42, began to notice she was sleepwalking regularly after the birth of her first child Henry in 2006.

But the sleepwalking soon developed sleep shopping - a habit which has seen her splash £3k unknowingly while snoozing.

Purchases including a full-sized plastic basketball court and hundreds of pounds worth of Haribo sweets.

In March, Kelly received a spam text impersonating the government, offering financial assistance for her bills.

While sleeping, she gave the scammers her financial information and has since been targeted several times after she suspects they sold on her information.
