Subscription Traps, Online Shopping Scam and Charity Shops

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We hear from people whose addresses and phone numbers have appeared as the contact details for bogus shopping sites - to their horror, they've been deluged by calls from angry customers and are even receiving returns in the post. Fraud reporter Shari Vahl unravels what's going on. Some charities have been announcing they're closing lots of shops - what's behind it and what will it mean for the high street? Meanwhile the government tells us what it's doing to try to help struggling rural pubs to survive. And we'll also have a recording of the moment one of our listeners was cold called and signed up to a club she says she'd never agreed to. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
