James Freedman Is a Showman and an Expert on Stealth Crime and Social Engineering James Freedman is a showman and an expert on stealth crime and social engineering. His ground-breaking West End show ‘Man of Steal’ featured him stealing the identities of members of the audience which led to City of London Police inviting James to be the first UK Fraud Prevention Ambassador. James now helps police forces across the country to raise awareness of fraud and cyber-crime. He has made many TV appearances including This Morning, CNN International, The Wright Stuff, BBC Breakfast & Sky News and presented a regular slot on Channel 5’s series Police 5, demonstrating the latest scams and how to avoid them. For corporate audiences, James combines his performance skills and business knowledge to increase employees’ awareness of risk and reduce companies’ exposure to fraud. ‘How to Commit Fraud’ is an entertaining exposé of hustles, scams and crime. Revealing exactly how he hacked three national newspaper journalists in different ways, James shares his secrets so you can stay safe from pickpockets, conmen and online fraud. “I’ll tell anyone exactly how to commit fraud” James says, “because if you don’t know how the bad guys operate, how can you really protect yourself?” For more information visit jamesfreedman.com Testimonials “We have used James for our events in London, Munich and New York. Our senior management have all been captivated by his presentation and we have no hesitation in recommending him.” ADVA Optical Networking “James 90 minute presentation went down a storm as he entertained, scared and captivated our staff. Colleagues have already told us that they’ve changed the way they manage their payments and use social media. A five star performance.” Pension Insurance Corporation plc “James scared everyone… and then left us with sensible and pragmatic tips that make all the difference to protecting our identity details.” London Digital Security Centre “James left the audience gasping at the ease with which he can get hold of our personal data. He did this in an informative, entertaining way which had us all gobsmacked and applauding in equal measure. Highly recommended.” PCMS Group plc .

    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society. If you are in production or development and would like other ideas for diverse presenters across all genres please feel free to get in touch with Mary Fitzpatrick Editorial Executive, Diversity via email: [email protected] Diverse On Screen Talent Directory Presenter Biographies Biographies Ace and Invisible Presenters, 1Xtra Category: 1Xtra Agent: Insanity Artists Agency Limited T: 020 7927 6222 W: www.insanityartists.co.uk 1Xtra's lunchtime DJs Ace and Invisible are on a high - the two 22-year-olds scooped the gold award for Daily Music Show of the Year at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards.

These will be published at the end of 2004 following a full public consultation. The Codes currently in force for programming are: · Advertising and Sponsorship Code Radio Authority · News and Current Affairs Code & Programme Code Radio Authority · Code on Standards Broadcasting Standards Commission · Code on Fairness and Privacy Broadcasting Standards Commission · Programme Code Independent Television Commission · Code of Programme Sponsorship Independent Television Commission These are all available on the Ofcom website: www.ofcom.org.uk The cases have been considered against the above Codes. · Some programmes will have breached the relevant code (Upheld). · Others will not have breached the code (Not upheld). · However, there may be occasions where Ofcom recognises that a broadcaster has taken appropriate action in response to an issue (for instance, the broadcaster may recognise that an error has occurred and taken responsible steps to rectify it). Ofcom will consider that these complaints have been resolved. But even when such action has been taken, Ofcom may still consider it appropriate to find that the programme breached the Code due to the seriousness of the issues involved. The layout of the report reflects these distinctions.
