Jade Saunders, a 20-year-old student, was crowned Miss Scarborough in April this year, and is also a semi-finalist for Miss England 2008.
Saunders reportedly clicked on a link in an e-mail purporting to be from her bank, which took her to a genuine-looking, but fake, website.
By entering her security log-in details on the fake site, Saunders provided the cybercriminals with all they needed to set up a standing order on her account for £10,000.
