CATCHING THE SCAMMERS

Scam Interceptors.

If you haven’t watched it already, put it on your watch list. Scam Interceptors is a documentary series on BBC One, the outline of which is described as: “Working with ethical hackers to hunt down the scammers plaguing our lives, using cutting-edge tech to catch out crooks.”

We thought IAP members, especially with their interest in the world of software, security and computing, would want to have this illuminating, troubling and yet ultimately inspiring and encouraging series of programs about real-life scam intervention, firmly on their radar. The focus is not only on the technology around scamming but also emphasizes the impact on victims.

Watch it!

There are now four series to watch, and there’s something to take from every episode: www.bbc.co.uk/scam-interceptors.
