How to Beat Scammers: The complete guide to safeguarding yourself and your loved ones from theft and fraud

Scamming costs the UK, by conservative estimates, over a billion pounds a year, and realistically, more like £17 billion – about a third of our defence budget or 10 per cent of our annual NHS spend. Worse, it hits ordinary people where it hurts the most : whether the life-savings of the vulnerable elderly taken over the phone, the hard-saved savings of young people whipped away by clicking the wrong online link, or a lump sum from anyone caught momentarily unaware, we are all vulnerable. There is a scam for everyone : if you haven’t been stung yet, it’s only because until now no one has used the right approach. Nick Stapleton is the presenter on the BBC’s Scam Interceptors and has become a guru in the ways of fraud, theft and con artistry. In this book, the first of its kind , he has put together a fail-safe handbook covering all known scams , including advice on how to protect yourself or vulnerable loved ones, what to do if you think you’ve been scammed and how to go about reclaiming stolen money . Safeguard yourself and your family by taking the power back with this, the ultimate defence tool. – ASIN: 1789297559 | ISBN13: 9781789297553 | ISBN-13: 978-1789297553
