Scammers Caught Conning on CCTV
Ethical hacker Jim Browning breaks into the CCTV system of a group of Pakistan-based scammers who are conning their way into a man’s mobile phone account.
In this episode, the team can not only hear a group of Lahore-based scammers – they can see them as well – because ethical hacker Jim Browning has broken into their CCTV system.
And as the team look, open-mouthed, at an office full of scammers hard at work, one fraudster reels in a man in London who thinks that he is about to get a discounted mobile phone deal. In fact, he is on the hook for hundreds of pounds unless we can get hold of him.
Meanwhile, in Liverpool, a different group of scammers try to convince a man that he has got problems with his broadband and needs to give them access to his system to sort it out.
