On Your Behalf: Avoiding Scams and Protecting Your Data

Avoiding Scams and Protecting Your Data

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Avoiding Scams and Protecting Your Data

How can we avoid falling for scams? And the new information commissioner talks to Linda about protecting our data 

A listener received a text message saying she needed to take a new Covid test. But when the fraudsters switched tack and mimicked her bank, she nearly fell into their trap. Another listener was conned into sending over £7,000 to scammers. Tony Neale from Safe Online untangles the webs of deceit. Linda McAuley talks to the new information commissioner John Edwards who visited Northern Ireland this week and asks how people’s data is being protected by companies. And it’s Consumer Week, so two experts from the Consumer Council join Linda to discuss what help is available for people facing a cost of living crisis.
