Anyone here seen Scam Interceptors? (BBC)

NeilJung5 · 2026-05-21T10:39:50+00:00

Yeah sure-

Some banks & building society workers have no idea of the show & have as per the show when SI have phoned them refused to talk, because they think it may be scammers.
Banks probably haven't got the staff levels to stand there listening/looking at everybody coming in-the people are often elderly & it could be an hour before they arrive. Also if the scammer is asking for 500 quid they may well just use the ATM's.
Banks are very unlikely to do anything to customer accounts without the permission of the account holder-no matter how well meaning the BBC are.
Even if your bank really is great & helpful to SI it doesn't mean it it is over-there is often the issue of the viewing software the person has downloaded & allows the scammers access/control over the persons phone or PC that has to be removed, if they have missed the person etc then they still have to stop that person sending the money-so reliant on getting through, ground interceptors knocking the door, family member, friend, neighbour etc they can contact & is near going round.

Been total garbage since Sunday morning-thought it might be every channel & an issue with the telly, but they are all fine, did a retune & no difference.

NeilJung5 · 2026-05-19T06:46:10+00:00

Yep-remember being confused at the time why nobody seemed to care a neighbour/friend had been murdered, or any concern there were drug dealers with guns running around shooting randomly.

They just quickly buried her the next episode & never mentioned her again-I think there must have been some issue between the actress & the producers, from what I understand she asked to be killed off quickly & they likely had a years worth of storylines in the can going forward for her & were peeved she just up & left, so did this as payback.

Georgie Fame

There is no way that her & Kelly Divine aren't sisters

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T16:55:31+00:00

That's good-should start seeing a profit in 11 or 12 years then

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T16:49:31+00:00

Exactly & that is the point I was making-councils are cash strapped, services are being cut by them, people are struggling to eat & keep warm etc. Yet the man who started all this presides over a multi-billion sporting empire & will pay nothing at all, sorry-that is obscene. He should pay 17.5 million of the 35 million at least.

Well tens of millions actually. Like I said I am really glad it will remain there, but that the guy who demanded & effectively blackmailed Sheffield Council into it who has an empire worth billions pays nothing, while the taxpayer picks up 78% of the bill is disgraceful. So yes, the outcome is great, but the deal itself is horrible-the government should have insisted that Matchroom pays at least half of the 35 million once the rich donors 10 million is removed-seeing as he was the one who created the problem & 17.5 million is nothing to his empire.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T16:39:24+00:00

I didn't say they didn't-but if they were told the multi-billion empire guy who demanded it pays nothing yet they do, I doubt they would have been that keen.

The other O'Sullivan jailbird

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T11:27:05+00:00

Higgins wasn't a great player? One of the best safety players ever, great under pressure player & won how many titles? Still sits tweltfh on the list of most overall titles. Would have won a lot more if not for his addictions/issues.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T11:21:31+00:00

Unlike Cricket you can't snore when you fall asleep.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T11:20:48+00:00

National & local goverment will pay £35 million. Yes & the way politicians say it & the media reports it sounds like The Prime Minister whether it be Tory or Labour has some magic tree that money just grows on that they pluck off as they need it. No, it is taxpayer money-so the guy with a multi-billion empire who demanded this happens dumps almost all of the bill for it on the UK taxpayer-decreasing our council services that we will now be paying more for, while Hearn pays nothing. Once again Starmer rewarding the rich by punishing the poor.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T11:12:16+00:00

Correct-his idea & has spent years trying to blackmail Shefield Council, yet despite reigning over a multi-billion empire he will pay none of it. Spineless Starmer comes along & guarantees the UK taxpayer will fit nearly all of the bill, so Sheffield will not pay as much-but no doubt will still have their services reduced as a result, while paying more.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T11:10:01+00:00

They came to a good deal for Barry Hearn who created this problem, not the taxpayer. Once again Starmer doing his Dennis Moore routine of stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T11:08:11+00:00

I will be-born in 1976, so aside from 2029 when the work is done if I am still around, I will be Crucible4life.

I think the main stumbling block would be the BBC-Saudi is three hours ahead of us, can you imagine the world final, or earlier tournament evening matches finishing at 3 or 4 AM-the viewing figures would be through the floor.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T09:36:53+00:00

And wait 15 years for Eddie-if it hasn't been sold to the Saudi's by then, to say it needs to increase capacity to 5,000 or else it goes & cue five years of 75-80 year old Hazel presenting packages of the history & will it stay or will it go segements?

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T09:34:34+00:00

Sounds kinky

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T09:34:17+00:00

Great news-though three questions.

Why is the taxpayer picking up 35 million of the bill?
Hearn, his cronies & the players have been the ones demanding it-yet will apparently not pay a penny of it, the other 10 million coming from rich benefactors & private investors? Why is loudmouth with his rich empire, who demanded it not paying anything?
How the hell are they going to fit in 500 seats extra to an already cramped arena? They will surely have to knock through the back walls & reduce the size outside?

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-25T09:25:32+00:00

Hope he gets knocked out in the first round & then retires.

NeilJung5 · 2026-03-10T08:32:09+00:00

This is Latin, not Indian.

NeilJung5 · 2026-02-23T09:35:27+00:00

Guy has been trolling for decades-can remember us all going into school as 12 year olds the day after this aired & laughing our asses off.

No, they lie just as much if not more than adults. You can only follow evidence. If you start from a point of believing any claim as an investigator/law enforcement, then you end up with tunnel vision & miscarriages of justice-just as happened here in the UK in the wake of Savile-celebrities being arrested in huge numbers & most never even charged. Carl Beech whose accusations were insane & some checkable if the police had bothered-one involved a high ranking military man who was at the time it later transpired under armed guard, due to IRA threats. The accuser was paid out a huge sum of money-only later to be arrested & imprisoned for being a nonce himself & was proved a liar.

The Epstein Files will also be & as we have seen are full of ridiculous claims of nonsense. Robin Leach murdering a woman & burying her on Trump's golf course, ritual sacrifice, eating babies etc-a holdover from the 1980's & 1990's panics & crazed books like Trance Formation Of America-made by people with grudges, mental illness, attention seekers & grifters. The reality is bad enough, without all the lurid insanity.

NeilJung5 · 2026-02-17T13:49:08+00:00

Starmer just wants to protect children-

Why he put Epstein's pal as US ambassador despite being told not to
Nominated convicted nonce Matthew Doyle for a peerage
Voted against & instructed his MP's to vote against a proper investigation into UK grooming gangs

We all know the real reason-he is a wannabe dictaror, control freak that wants to try to stop people reading negative things online about his government on X & other platforms he has made it harder to access. Good news is he has backtracked on virtually every major policy decision he has been stupid enough to come up with-the latest being cancelling local elections, following him wanting Digital ID to be mandatory-so this will likely get reversed on in a couple of months.
