Episode 10
Michelle and Mavis hear how Erin lost thousands of pounds saved for a house deposit when scammers caught her at a bad time, and how Jo had her Facebook page cloned, leaving her clients out of pocket.
Erin was preparing to buy her first marital home with her partner, and with her deposit money saved and ready to go, it felt just a short step away. Then a call from what she was told was the Lloyds Fraud Team changed everything, as she was persuaded to move thousands of pounds to a safe account that was nothing of the sort.
We also meet Jo, whose business page on Facebook was cloned by a cunning hacker. They used the cloned page to convince Jo鈥檚 contacts to send them their bank details as part of a fake competition, and now Jo is worried it could happen again. The ethical hackers delve into both cases and come up with some significant revelations that will help keep Erin and Jo secure in the future.
Also featured is Reverend Steve, whose parish narrowly avoided a scam thanks to Miss Marple-like detective work from one of his congregation.
