Conversations with Scammers
***SUICIDE WARNING: There are two discussions of suicide in this episode. Listen with caution***
In this episode, we are bringing you something a little different.
As part of Nick's work, he talks to a lot of scammers on social media and elsewhere. Most of the time, once they find out about what he does for a living, they block him and run a mile.
Some, however, keep talking. The interviews you hear in today's episode are the results of those conversations.
It's the world of scams, but the version you don't usually hear: the scammer's.
Are you interested in seeing Nick do a talk in person? Next year, he’s taking his live show, How to Beat Scammers, around the UK.
It’s going to be a fascinating exploration of the scam business, including tales from Nick’s years working undercover in dodgy businesses, a journey through the global geography of the scam industry and even interactive tests of your scam awareness!

Removal Ransom
Jason tells us the story of how his international move went extremely awry.
It all seemed to be going so well, right up until the point where the removalists decided to take his belongings hostage. Nick heads out onto the streets of London to try and track down the business behind a web of shell companies, and the man pulling the strings.
