The pair were targeted by a professional con-man in 2015 and lost a considerable amount of money, though both have now been reimbursed
Manchester City star David Silva and former manager Manuel Pellegrini were the victims of a £150,000 credit card fraud, according to a report from the Manchester Evening News.
Professional con-artist Jonathan Reuben posed as Silva to withdraw £20,950 in cash from the midefielder's bank in Manchester in September 2015.
Reuben, also known as Jonathon Davies, travelled to four branches of Silva’s bank - at Wigan, Bolton, Bury and Prestwich - before using the card to make withdrawals from cashiers and machines.
