On social media, there's a new type of influencer. But instead of promoting clothing lines and lifestyle products, they promote fraud. In this episode of 5 Minutes On, Kaf Okpattah's investigation for BBC Panorama uncovers the way fraudsters are using social media to reach new victims - and draw others into committing crime by sharing fraud tips. His investigation leads to the unmasking of an anonymous influencer who has been selling guides online. (Image: Getty)
