Investigation: The black market behind your takeaway

Takeaway conmen rent their identity to your driver - then steal the earnings.

A Sunday Times investigation has found that drivers for Deliveroo, UberEats and other takeaway apps, are selling access to their accounts to people who do not have the right to work in the UK. Many of these buyers are undocumented migrants. And since all earnings go to the account holder – not the drivers renting the account – nothing prevents these workers from being exploited.

Guest: Venetia Menzies, Digital and Data Journalist, The Times and The Sunday Times.

Host: Taryn Siegel.
