In the first of five special episodes for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scam Safe week, the team investigate the fake bank accounts all registered in one Cheshire street and ask whether the bank responsible does enough to stop scammers opening accounts. Also on the programme, the woman who received a £600 high-end smartphone as a gift, only to discover it was counterfeit – and the online retail giant that wouldn’t refund her. And the quick-witted viewer who recorded a scam call and kept the criminals talking, so he could expose their breathtaking tactics.
