Fake Restaurant Review; Economic Abuse; TikTok Shop
The scam that's leading victims to leave fake five-star restaurant reviews, why young people aren't spotting the signs of economic abuse, and the rapid rise of TikTok Shop.
After a high end restaurant was publicly accused of soliciting fake five star reviews, Shari Vahl unravels what's really going on, and discoveries the reviews are actually nothing to do with the restaurant but the product of a new kind of "task scam" - that's where criminals lure victims with promises of easy money for simple online "tasks". And its on the up.
New research reveals that 18-24 year olds aren't spotting the signs of economic abuse. We hear from a victim about how the impact of this kind of abuse can be both devastating and long lasting.
And as the year grinds to a close we hear about one of the big consumer trends of 2025 - the growth of Tiktok shop.
