New season incoming and this week we’re kicking off a series about scams, hoaxes and frauds. Scams appear to be part of the fabric nowadays, with Citizens Advice UK reporting that over 40 million people in the country were targeted between January and May 2022. Neeraj and Nick discuss scams that are common, those they’ve experienced and a couple of newsworthy examples. Nick begins to realise that he may have been exposed to more scams than he previously knew. Meanwhile, Neeraj entertains a more romantic notion of scamming, imagining playful tricksters trying to get one over their fellow man through a combination of charm, wit, theatrics and bird poo. That last one catch you by surprise? Then have a listen to find out more.
