Summary:

Scamming costs the worldwide economy billions each year.

Worse, it hits ordinary people where it hurts the most: whether the life-savings of the vulnerable elderly taken over the phone, the hard-earned savings of young people whipped away by clicking the wrong online link, or a lump sum from anyone caught momentarily unaware, we are all vulnerable. There is a scam for everyone: if you haven’t been stung yet, it’s only because until now no one has used the right approach.

Nick Stapleton is the presenter on the BBC’s Scam Interceptors, an award-winning TV series which teaches viewers how to beat scammers, and has become a guru in the ways of fraud, theft and con artistry. In this book, the first of its kind, he has put together a fail-safe handbook covering all known scams, including advice on how to protect yourself or vulnerable loved ones, what to do if you think you’ve been scammed and how to go about reclaiming stolen money.

Sales points:

  • First to market: there is nothing else on scam protection out there

  • Strong platforms: the BBC’s Scam Interceptors is a treble award-winning show (BAFTA award for best daytime series, Broadcast Award, Royal Television Society Award) with record-high slot viewings regularly reaching 1.5M people.

  • Nick hosts a Scam Clinic on BBC’s Morning Live and recieves dozens of emails a day from people needing his advice. He also writes for the Daily Mail, Saga and BBC.com and has 20k Instagram followers.

  • In Feb/March, he will be touring the UK speaking in theatres on these topics – an ideal chance to sell or pre-sell books to a switched on, willing audience who have paid good money to come see him.
