The coronavirus crisis has created a "perfect storm" in which scammers can target victims distanced from their support network, according to the guests on the latest edition of the FTAdviser Podcast.

This week reporter Rachel Mortimer talks to Myron Jobson, personal finance campaigner at Interactive Investor, and Simon Harrington, senior policy adviser at Pimfa, about the targets scammers have spotted during the pandemic, why social distancing can hamper attempts to stop scams and what advisers can do to protect their clients and their businesses.

Then, Rachel talks to reporters Amy Austin and Imogen Tew about the spending review and the FSCS levy.
