Holiday Booking Scams, Conveyancing Complaints and Private Chefs
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
You've been telling us about a scam targeting people who have used Booking.com for a trip away. It's a convincing one because the criminals seem to know your booking details, and can even send messages through the official platform. So how are they doing it and how can you spot it? There's a shortage of purpose-built student accommodation - but increasingly, rooms are lying empty. We'll ask if young people are being priced out of this type of student living. More people are complaining about the service they get from conveyancers - and is eating in the new eating out? We'll hear about why private chefs are no longer the preserve of footballers and celebrities. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
