Investigative journalist Nick Stapleton – co-host of Scam Interceptors – talks about the worldwide fraud explosion, worth trillions, and how it’s getting even more sophisticated thanks to AI.
Nick reveals what it’s like confronting scammers through ethical hacking on the BBC show, and shares stories from his career as an undercover reporter.
He’s the son of TV legends John Stapleton and Lynn Faulds Wood who fought for consumer rights on programmes like BBC Watchdog. Nick has forged his own path as a scam expert, helping save people money and heartache, but says his values are in his DNA and from the work his mum and dad were famous for as journalists.
