Bank fraudsters call people to convince them their bank accounts have been compromised.

Scammers are ringing UK landlines claiming to be from a major UK high-street bank and saying people's accounts have been hacked. Can the Interceptors stop people handing over cash?

The bank fraudsters are at it again, calling vulnerable people in the UK and trying to convince them their bank accounts have been compromised and they need to move their money to keep it safe. It falls to Rav and the Interceptor team to try to stop anyone handing over their cash. 

Meanwhile, a dog groomer's social media account has been hacked by scammers, and they want £300 to give it back to her.
