A man believes he has accidentally taken out a subscription, and he wants his money back. What he doesn鈥檛 know is that he is really talking to scammers, and the cancellation form they are asking him to fill in is actually a fast track to giving them his hard-earned cash. That is, unless the Interceptors can get hold of him before he parts with any money.
Meanwhile, we hear from a woman who handed over 拢20,000 to fraudsters she thought were helping her take advantage of a government energy rebate.
