The “Scam Interceptors” are back on BBC One this Tuesday, tackling the cruel and increasingly sophisticated world of online fraud. This episode features a particularly heartless scheme, as scammers target a woman with a fake internet security threat, ultimately causing her to miss a crucial medical appointment.
As the team races against time, their focus shifts from simply exposing the scam to preventing a potentially devastating financial loss for the victim. They’ve identified the call center, located the perpetrators, and now the clock is ticking. Will they reach the victim before her bank account is emptied?
“Scam Interceptors,” led by Rav Wilding and a team of ethical hackers, goes beyond simple awareness campaigns. Using cutting-edge technology, they infiltrate these criminal operations, monitoring phone calls in real time and gathering the evidence needed to confront the scammers head-on. It’s a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, and the consequences for the victims are all too real. Find out if justice prevails this Tuesday at 2:00 PM BST on BBC One.
