Fraud has reached epidemic proportions in the UK with many of us being fleeced by things like fake investments, telephone scams and internet cons. So how is fraud being tackled in other parts of the world? We report on how smartphone technology is helping consumers to buy better-fitting clothes with one manufacturer predicting made-to-measure jeans for all within ten years. And after some credit unions went under, we hear why they can still be a better choice than other forms of savings or loans. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Jon Douglas
