Straight to Thailand!

Episode 1 of 10

Scammers try to transfer a man’s money directly to a Thai bank account. In desperation, the team dispatch the ground interceptors to the man’s home address.

Rav Wilding and Nick Stapleton are back, working with ethical hacker Jim Browning to call out the scammers plaguing our lives and prevent their targets from losing their hard-earned cash.

In this episode, the interceptors try to prevent one man from having his savings transferred directly to a Thai bank account by a ruthless tech support scammer. As always, time is of the essence, and as the scam hub’s repeated attempts to contact the man fail, they dispatch the ground interceptors to his home address. It’s a 'will-they, won’t-they' battle for the ages against a tricksy criminal – but who will come out on top?
