A fraudster posing as Britain's Prince Harry has conned a man out £23,000.
An Austrian tradesman was offered a contract worth £835,000 to renovate the parquet floors in Buckingham Palace by a man on Facebook who was pretending to be the flame haired Royal.
The floor fitter was asked to transfer â¬27,500 to a number of different bank accounts in order to start himself a British business but, after he failed to hear back from the man - whose Facebook profile was under the name 'Prince Harry' - he decided to contact Austrian police, according to the Kurier newspaper.
Authorities have now advised the unidentified man that his chances of getting the money back are ''slim.''
