Cutting edge journalism
Listened to the show and was delighted at the approach in which the City of London Police were dealing with this type of fraud. It effects us all in our premiums in these times of austerity.
A great piece again Shari, can't wait to hear more from you on this subject. Well done to the boys in blue!
