The first instalment of a week long series looking at the extent of fraud in the UK, and why it is so difficult to stop. We hear from the relative of an elderly man who was defrauded of his savings by cold-calling investment criminals and then persuaded to send more money abroad. Winifred Robinson speaks to Action Fraud about what it is doing to help and protect victims from being fleeced of their savings over the phone, the internet and on their doorsteps. Plus the disabled woman challenging Visit England to improve accessibility at tourist destinations. Presented by Winifred Robinson Produced by Natalie Donovan.
