Michelle and Mavis hear how Robyn鈥檚 house deposit fell into the hands of hackers who accessed her financial advisor's email.

Robyn and her boyfriend had a deposit saved for a house. As they prepared to complete, their financial advisor requested some money from their deposit, but the advisor鈥檚 emails had been hacked, and Robyn and her partner found themselves 拢10,000 worse off. Robyn has exhausted all avenues in terms of getting her money back, and as she prepares to buy a house all over again, she wants to know that her every transaction is safe from any potential scams.

Also today, we meet Maureen from Greater Manchester Police鈥檚 鈥楽cambusters鈥� team as she reaches out to community members exposed to scams.
