Hunting the O2 Fakers
The boss of a scam call centre is pretending to be a mobile provider to get control of UK phone accounts to steal customers’ money. Can the Interceptors stop him?
The Scam Interceptors are on the trail of a Pakistan-based criminal call centre which is phoning UK mobiles pretending to be a phone company. It’s a sophisticated scam in which they appear to offer a great deal on a mobile phone contract when in fact, the only person paying will be the victim. Rav, Nick and the Interceptors go head-to-head with the criminals to try to warn the victim before any money is handed over to the crooks.
