Olympic torchbearer devastated over eBay hoax bid
  • 12 years ago
An Olympic torchbearer who sold her torch for charity says she'd devastated after a £150,000 eBay bid turned out to be fake.

Sarah Milner-Simonds from Somerset says she's also had dozens of abusive messages critisising her decision to put her piece of history up for sale.

"I'm sure they were really well intentioned and felt strongly about Olympic values but when they objected so much that they took the time to write really abusive emails to me through eBay, I was really hurt," she said.
