Chargeback fraud, Food magazines
The man who forced the Formula E grand prix to abandon plans to host the event annually in Battersea Park, plus chargeback fraud.
This year's electric car race in July will be the last in Battersea Park in London after a legal challenge from James Jackson. He said it amounted to a green race trashing a green place. The case has been settled out of court preserving the Grade 2 listed Victorian park.
Chargeback fraud, also known as friendly fraud, occurs when a consumer makes an online shopping purchase with their own credit card, and then requests a chargeback from the issuing bank after receiving the purchased goods or services. It's there to protect us when we want to return shoddy goods or goods which don't arrive. But it's also a firm favourite of the fraudsters.
It's estimated that more than 800 thousand people in the UK are living with some form of dementia, and that figure is expected to pass a million within the next decade. While its symptoms, including memory loss and disorientation, are well known, how many of us understand what it's actually like to live with the condition? We sent our reporter Andrew Fletcher on a virtual dementia tour that's offering those who work with and care for people with dementia a "window into their world."
Most supermarkets produce their own magazines, many of them free. How has it affected food publishing, and how attractive are they to advertisers? Do the magazines affect in store spend in any way? i.e. can any retailer show that sales of a certain product increased after featuring it in a recipe or feature in one of their magazines?
