- Description
- Tom runs a business selling beauty products online and noticed a significant shortfall in his accounts not long after he’d clicked on a link he believed to be from an online auction site. Over 3 months, in incremental amounts, scammers had taken £14000 from Tom’s accounts - and failed to recover the money. Now he wants to be sure there’s nothing else left online that might leave him exposed to future scams and hacks. Caroline transferred almost £1000 to the "Lloyds Fraud Team" safe account.... But quickly realized she’d been scammed - the team of ethical hackers are on the hunt for why she may have been targeted and how she can avoid being caught out again.
