BBC1 Scam Interceptors, on right now.

Filmed in real time, they’ve recorded telephone scammers trying to wipe out an old and ill victim. Painful viewing. The BBC team are attempting to tell the victim in time.

I think that is an older series they are repeating. The latest one now has ground interceptors who get help,people in the middle of a scam.

I think it is usually a daytime programme but I would recommend anyone with elderly parents to get them to watch this as it shows how they can get caught out.

Very rare I get something via text.

Had a job agency "interactively" texting me to give them details last week and they even gave me their name.

Rang the agency up and they had no employee under that name.
