Episode 1
Michelle and Mavis hear how Sally lost her inheritance when scammers hacked into her solicitor's email account, and Kent Police tell the story of a disgruntled employee turned hacker.
Sally received a large inheritance from her father, and thought the best place for it was a property investment. But when her lawyers instructed her to transfer the money for her deposit, little did Sally know that their email account had been hacked. As she sent ID documents and more to the lawyers, she’s now worried that the scammers might not just profit from her money, but also her data. Michelle and Mavis are on the case to reassure Sally that this is the last scam she’ll be caught up in.
Also in the episode, DCI Marc Cananur talks us through Kent Police’s prosecution of a disgruntled employee turned cyberhacker.
