In this week's episode of Which? Shorts, we explain how anybody of any age can become a scam victim.

You might think you’ll never fall victim to a scam, just because some of them seem obvious to you. But you could be caught at a bad time or become the subject of manipulation over a lengthy period by a skilled scammer.

This episode was written and read by Tali Ramsey, and was based on Tali's article that was originally published in the August / September 2025 issue of Which? Tech Magazine.
