Scam Detectors
Think you can spot a scam? Think again. The Scam Detectors Podcast unravels the increasingly sophisticated schemes separating people from their money - and how consumers and financial institutions are fighting back.
Hosted by BBC technology journalist Jane Wakefield, each episode explores a different type of scam through the eyes of everyday people, fraud fighters, household names, and industry experts. As fraud becomes the most common crime in the UK, accounting for 40% of all offences recorded in England and Wales, the need for awareness and protection has never been greater. From romance scams to investment fraud, we expose fraudsters’ tactics to help you protect yourself and your money.

Dynamic content insertion: Captivate may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Scam Detectors may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
