Watchdog Wednesday: Scamming the scammers
Thousands of people have been ripped off through the 'Microsoft scam', by criminals who cold call, threaten and take over people's PCs.

If you have a story about a scam or any other rip off, you can contact the producers directly on watchdog@bbc.co.uk and put 'BBC Three' in the subject heading.
