Social Media Bank Staff Scam Cost Me £16,500

Season 16 Episode 32 of 45

Gloria Hunniford, Julia Somerville and Louise Minchin reveal how scammers are convincing victims to part with their cash by posing as senior bank staff, with the head of one bank's fraud team explaining how he was impersonated. Plus, how a company using QR codes to sign people up for subscriptions they knew nothing about has been shut down, and a cyberattack on a law firm's computer system that left a car-crash victim in limbo.

Rip Off Britain airs on BBC One London HD at 10:45 AM, Tuesday 7 January. (Subtitles, new.)
