S3E2: When banks fail us: my fight against scams and fraud

Listen on

Episode notes

What would you do if you were scammed? Do you know what kinds of things the banks look for when evaluating if you should get your money back?

Katie Morley is consumer champion for the Telegraph. She’s won back around 10 million pounds for scam and fraud victims including those who should have been protected but weren’t.

Last year Damo was invited to No.10 to talk about fraud because it's such a big issue. We all know we need to be more aware of the techniques used to target us and our rights if we fall victim

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
