Fake Company In Your House

Scam Secrets

Available for over a year

A letter arrives at your home - addressed to a company you've never heard of. Would you know what to do? Criminals are registering companies at innocent people's addresses at a shocking scale - sometimes covering an entire street at a time. In this episode, Shari Vahl, Dr Elisabeth Carter and former fraudster Alex Wood find out the alarming consequences if your home is targeted - and how to fight back. Fake companies expert Graham Barrow joins the programme to explain what the criminals are after, and to discuss whether Companies House's latest crackdown is working. PRESENTER: SHARI VAHL PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
