Episodes

The Invoice With New Bank Details
A familiar invoice arrives with changed payment details. Clara and Graham explain how payment redirection works and why one trusted phone call can prevent a costly mistake.

-
The Lottery You Didn't Enter
A letter, email or text says you have won a lottery or prize you did not enter, then asks for a fee, tax or identity details to collect it. Clara and Graham explain why unexpected winnings are not proof of a real prize and set one practical action: send nothing and walk away.
-
They Can't Meet, But They Need Money
Someone met online has built a warm relationship but cannot meet or video call, then asks for money to solve an urgent problem. Clara and Graham explain why an online relationship is not proof of identity and set one practical action: send nothing and tell someone you trust.
-
The Investment Tip Everyone Is Sharing
A social media group is excited about an investment promising high returns with little risk. Clara and Graham explain why popularity is not proof and set one practical action: do not transfer money until you have independently checked the business, the person and the licence.
-
Your Parcel Couldn't Be Delivered
A delivery text says a parcel is waiting and asks for a small redelivery fee. Clara and Graham explain why the timing can feel convincing and set one practical action: check the order through the retailer or courier's official app instead of the message link.
-
The Copy That Saves the Day
A computer stops working and years of family photos may be trapped on it. Clara and Graham explain what a backup is, then set one practical job: back up one important device and restore a file to check it works.
-
Free Wi-Fi Without the Worry
You are away from home and need to check your bank account, but the only nearby connection is public Wi-Fi. Clara and Graham explain why mobile data is the better choice for sensitive accounts.
-
The Update You've Been Putting Off
A phone or tablet keeps asking to install an update. Clara and Graham explain what updates fix and walk through one practical action: install the pending update from the device's own settings.
-
Has Your Friend Been Cloned?
A duplicate social-media profile sends a friend request. Graham and Clara explain why you should contact the real friend through an existing known channel before accepting.
-
The Marketplace Buyer in a Hurry
A marketplace buyer sends a payment, verification, or courier link and asks you to leave the platform. Graham and Clara explain why messages and payments should stay inside the marketplace.
-
Before You Scan That Code
A QR code appears on a parking meter or an unsolicited letter. This kind of QR-code phishing is called quishing. Graham and Clara explain how to check the destination shown by the phone before opening it and to prefer an official app where one is available.

A Message From myGov?
A text says there is a myGov refund or account problem and provides a sign-in link. Graham and Clara explain how to leave the message alone and check myGov independently.

An unexpected caller says your computer needs urgent repairs and asks for remote access. Graham and Clara explain why the safest response is to hang up and contact the company yourself.

The Extra Lock on Your Account
A stolen password can open an email account in seconds. Graham and Clara explain how multi-factor authentication adds a second barrier that a stolen password alone cannot clear.
-
Hi Mum, I've Lost My Phone
A message from a new number sounds like a family member in trouble. Graham and Clara explain how to step outside the conversation and check who is really asking for help.
-
Is That Really Your Bank Calling?
An unexpected caller says there is fraud on your bank account and offers to fix it. Graham and Clara explain why the safest response is to end the call and contact the bank yourself.
