Multi-Million Pound School I.T Scam

from 5 Live Investigates Hosted by BBC Radio 5 Live

Adrian Goldberg investigates the schools over-paying by as much as ten times for equipment like photocopiers and laptops after being mis-sold leases. Following our investigation into problems with leasing agreements last year, we hear from one school facing bills for hundreds of thousands of pounds for equipment they were told they were getting for free. Plus we ask why Google continued to feature a sponsored ad for a website illegally offering Olympics tickets even after being warned by the police that it was a scam.
