Fake Coppers Coming to Your Door

Episode 5 of 15

The interceptors must identify a man trapped into believing he is going to be arrested by the National Crime Agency if he does not transfer money to scammers.

The interceptors take on devious scammers posing as the National Crime Agency, who scare their targets into buying gift cards to prove their identities in a complex set of lies telling them they will be arrested if they don’t comply.

With the scam hub team having no luck contacting a man who is being targeted on the phone, the ground interceptors are dispatched to his address. But it’s a huge block of flats – will they be able to find and stop him before he pays out?
