Seventy-two-year-old Sarah had been given £25,000 by her cousin and was thrilled to invest it into a pension scheme. But the superb rate she was offered came at a far more significant cost – it was a scam. Having sent over a raft of documents with her money, Sarah feels more vulnerable than ever just when she should be enjoying her retirement, so she needs Mavis and Michelle to examine where she is exposed to future fraudsters as soon as possible.

Jim’s son and grandson are worried that their dad/grandad has become a repeat target for scammers, and as he’s busy caring for their unwell Grandma, they need to help him shut out the scammers as quickly as they can. This episode also sees a list of top tips and things to look out for if you’re worried scammers might be contacting you. Show less
