After tough shifts on a Covid ward, nurse Melissa received a call telling her that her savings were under threat. Exhausted from her work, she went along with everything the scammers said. But when she realized what had happened, it was too late – she had lost a five-figure sum. The team of ethical hackers discover that she is still potentially exposed online, and there’s work to be done to make sure she never gets scammed again. \n\nThe team also hear the story of ransomware scammer Zain Qaiser, who was part of an international hacking ring that was fleecing people for huge figures. And after being ripped off for £2,000, Natasha is worried that she has been added to a suckers list and wants to know what she can do to stop being contacted by scammers who want to get their hands on her cash.
