Episode 8
Michelle and Mavis hear how Sharon caught scammers on CCTV convincing her to part with thousands just before Christmas, and we meet the Sussex Police officer installing tech to prevent scam calls.
Having previously gone through the experience of someone trying to clone her bank cards, Sharon was alarmed when she had a call from an online marketplace fraud department and quickly got them off the phone. But the next day when a call came from her bank reporting suspicious activity, she responded quickly and transferred money to a safe account, only to discover she had lost 拢2,000 and the whole thing was a scam.
Lynne was looking to invest her money in a reliable investment but found herself being pressured by fraudsters to add thousands of pounds she simply didn鈥檛 have. The criminals took over her laptop after downloading a piece of tech, and now Lynne is panic-stricken about just how much information they may have on her.
Also, we follow Sussex police as they install call blocking technology in a vulnerable victim鈥檚 home to keep scam calls at bay.
