9 - 7: Episode 7

As the series of consumer investigations continues, Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville unravel the rising threat of ID fraud, with one of the most shocking stories the programme has ever featured. One man reveals how fraudsters set out to steal not just his identity, but also his home. And they very nearly got away with it. And the show goes behind the scenes with the police team cracking down on the criminals making fake IDs to order. With tests exposing how details on social media can be pieced together, are we making it all too easy for the criminals to get hold of the information they need to steal our identities?
