The “Scam Interceptors” are back, and this time, their pursuit of justice takes them all the way to Thailand. In the Season 4 premiere, “Straight to Thailand!”, Rav Wilding, Nick Stapleton, and ethical hacker Jim Browning face a particularly ruthless tech support scammer who is attempting to drain a victim’s savings.
The team races against time to stop the man from transferring his hard-earned cash to a Thai bank account. As the scammer’s increasingly frantic attempts to contact the victim fail, the Interceptors dispatch their ground team to the man’s home, hoping to intervene before it’s too late. It’s a tense will-they, won’t-they battle against a tricksy criminal who knows the game inside and out.
With real-time monitoring of the scammer’s phone calls and cutting-edge technology at their disposal, the “Scam Interceptors” offer a gripping look at the fight against online fraud. The show continues to make viewers aware of the techniques used by scammers whilst simultaneously showing efforts to prevent people losing their hard earned cash. Tune in to BBC One on Tuesday, 22 April at 2:00 PM for a front-row seat to the action.
