UK victims of romance fraud lost more than £100m last year - and the crime is growing. Turbo-charged by AI, the attacks are becoming ever more sophisticated and elaborate. A listener got in touch when her mother was in the grip of criminals, who were using false identities and AI fakes to back up their stories. They tell us first-hand what it's like to be a victim - and we'll hear the moment the daughter confronted the man who was stealing her mother's life savings. Also on the programme - as food gets more expensive, own-brand products are getting more popular. For the first time, supermarket own‑brands now make up half of all grocery items sold across Europe’s biggest markets. And we'll hear what the UK's advertising watchdog has decided about bogus expert review sites following a You and Yours investigation. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
