Britain's oldest crimes have moved online, and this film tracks how scammers now cost the UK economy at least £27 billion a year in reported losses alone. It builds its case through the people left behind: a woman who lost £180,000 to a man she met and fell for online, and the family of a teenager who took his own life after a fraudster posing as a police officer convinced him he was in serious legal trouble. Investigators and specialist cyber units, funded by millions in government money that has gone largely unpublicized, describe the shift from doorstep and burglary crime to remote fraud carried out through phone calls, fake romance profiles, and impersonation scams. The film treats the financial damage and the psychological toll as inseparable, spending as much time on what victims felt while being deceived as on how the schemes worked technically. It closes on the gap between how fast the tactics evolve and how slowly enforcement can move to catch up.
