scam interceptors on bbc1 Now

I've just had another voicemail from a scammer, I'm annoyed they are able to leave messages now as the calls are computerised.

erm...its satire...?

Just watched Scot Squad - very informative.

No, it is not only the elderly One lady on the episode today was a young women!

I’m with anno. My MiL would’ve been taken in my anyone over the phone but I’m not so sure that it’s only the elderly targeted. Seriously, I saw the beginning of the programme, then Amazon rang to say someone had bought something on line and was it me. Then Solomon wanted to ask me a few short questions, then 3 other calls all about the maintenance contract on my washing machine coming to an end and finally ‘Sky’ about insuring my equipment - don’t have Sky now. All attempts to gain information, but thankfully I’m still on the ball!

Exploitative TV and blooming vigilantes "who have built up a good rapport with the police".

Is it only me who is reminded of Scot Squad?

This is worth watching. It's absolutely amazing that some people can be so totally taken in that they actually thank the scammer for giving them so much information! I hope the people - even if only a small proportion - who are likely victims are watching this.
