Midday Scam from Georgia
The team track a very British-sounding scammer who supposedly helps individuals recover lost funds, only to extort them for more money, to Tbilisi in Georgia.
The team are joined in the hub by ethical hacker Jim Browning as they focus on a scammer who seems to be from the UK. He runs recovery scams, supposedly helping individuals recover lost funds, only to extort them for more money.
With Jim’s help, the team work out that the British scammer, who is truly cruel to his victims, is working from an apartment block in Tbilisi, Georgia.
With so much information on the scammer, can it help them to stop him defrauding a man at home in the UK?
