Money mules allow cash to enter their account to send on to others, often with financial incentives. Even without knowing they are doing so, they may be partaking in money laundering and therefore, breaking the law.You can be approached in person or online, with perpetrators often being criminals or part of gangs seeking to ‘clean' money through multiple transactions. They often target those they feel would be the easiest to manipulate, which is often older and younger people.This is particularly worrisome for parents, as young children can easily be recruited into this, given 44% of those aged 13-24 admit they would consider letting someone use their account if offered money, while 11% would unknowingly become a money mule – transferring money from their account to others after someone has sent it on to them.According to new research from the Nationwide Building Society, 20% worry about their financial situation and 77% wish they had more money to buy the things they want, without having to ask their parents for money.Shappi Khorsandi, bestselling author and British comic, is a mother of two and has partnered with the building society to educate the nation's parents about these perils, not only to protect themselves but to pass on knowledge and telltale signs to their children.Shappi herself has been a victim of fraud and has spoken to her children about protecting their finances.

“Get a job with a pension” was the plea of Alan Pickering's' parents. He did. He became a pensions guru. Someone has to do it and there is no reason why a man without sight but with plenty of vision couldn't do the job. He did so well at it he got a gong.  This is what he said about how he got there.https://www.pensionsage.com/pa/Guest-comment-Vision-without-sight.php Not everyone gets the benefit of support as they make that transition from school to the world of work. #Shappi Kharsandi, tells the story about how, with looming poor grades at A ‘Level, her school thought she wasn't university material, but she had such a bubbly and outgoing personality. They recommended she become a holiday rep. She wondered, if she had been at a half way decent fee paying school, how that conversation might have run: “We think that while you might not be university material you've got such a bubbly and outgoing personality, we recommend you become Foreign Secretary.” There's something in this. Expectation is everything. It can enable you to grow into the person you think might want to become. If people don't have much of an expectation what is to become of you? In my final year of school, I was summoned to my housemaster's sitting room for a careers discussion. When I got there, he was sitting in an arm chair, smoking a cigar, glass of whisky on the table, reading #Playboy. “Sir,” I protested. “You're reading a porn mag.” “She reads Homes and Gardens,” he said in his own defense, giving a cursory nod in the direction of his wife who was, curled up on the sofa, absorbed in the world of interior designs. A silence hung between us until he put his “reading” matter down. I waited. “Well, I don't have any advice to offer.” Then he went on to offer his equivalent of “you might not be university material but you've got a bubbly personality.” “Being a blind bat and as gobby as you are, we had just better hope that you can find yourself a very old rich husband to marry. With luck, he'll die and leave you all his money, but not if you're too gobby.” The Careers Counsellor had a more considered approach.  He asked me what I had in mind. I explained that I was thinking of a career in the arts or the law. It was the seventies. A lot of episodes of #Crown Court had shaped my view of my potential to put a better argument and a better performance. If the law wouldn't have me, maybe I could act and just pretend. “How much do you weigh?' he asked. “No idea,” I answered. “You're quite a hefty girl and not a lot of sight I note, I'd recommend you consider basket weaving.” As recommendations go, being bubbly and a potential holiday rep, or even Foreign Secretary, would be a considerable step up from being a basket case. I mean this in the nicest way imaginable to weavers, but this was not what I had in mind. I wondered what was wrong with these people? What was it about them that meant they had no vision? Why could they not see the life of adventure that I could see for myself? It was listening to #Shappi Khardandi that bought it all back: The #Playboy magazine, the smoking teacher drinking whisky in the afternoon, careers advice that was not careers advice at all. It was the seventies. Shappi was feeling rather smug about how it turned out. I know what she means.  I'm more likely to annoy than make people laugh as much. Oh heck, I'm feeling pretty smug about it too.

We discuss the life of Mary Ward the 17th century Catholic nun who actively championed education for girls - and even spent time in prison for her cause. Now, almost four hundred years after her death, Mary Ward's legacy lives on via a network of almost 200 Mary Ward schools worldwide – including St Mary's School in Cambridge. She is considered the first sister of feminism and a pioneer of female missionary work. Sister Jane Livesey and Charlotte Avery headmistress at St Mary's school for girls tell us about her life and legacy. We hear from Jo Richards from British Wheelchair Basketball about the start of the British Wheelchair Basketball Women's Premier League which begins on Saturday live on the BBC. The league is the first of its kind worldwide, and the UK's first women's professional Para-sport league. What do you remember about ‘ladette culture'? It was a term first coined in 1994 to describe young women who behaved boisterously, assertively and loved a drink. Some considered it a feminist movement – allowing girls to act ‘just like men'. Comedian Shappi Khorsandi – who grew up in the 90's – explores ladette culture in her new comedy stand up tour. Professor Angela Smith teaches Language and Culture at the University of Sunderland. Shappi and Angela both join Anita to discuss the significance of this time, and how our attitudes have changed. On 17th November 2019, Grey Atticus Fox was born, nine weeks early to author Georgina Lucas and her partner Mike. Weighing just three and a half pounds, he was taken to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit and put on a ventilator. But less than two weeks later, a devastating prognosis left Georgina and Mike with an agonising decision of whether to withdraw Grey's life support. Georgina writes movingly about this experience and its aftermath in her memoir If Not For You. Woman to Woman is the all-star group founded back in 2018 and features musical artists Beverley Craven, Julia Fordham and Judie Tzuke. Now the trio are back with a new album, new tour and a new collaborator- singer-songwriter Rumer. Anita will speak to member Julia Fordham about their reunion, working with Rumer and their latest singles. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rabeka Nurmahomed

What's in a name? A lot as it turns out, as the artist formerly known as Shappi casts quite the magical spell at her dream festival. There's talk of how a recent ADHD diagnosis has proved a positive game-changer, her mum's dill rice, and the PTSD she still feels after fleeing from terror threats as a child in Iran. Her choices on this fantasy stage range from childhood comedy heroes, to mercurial kings of the stadium (one music, one comedy), and a chart-topping icon who's also there to look after her kids.

Jen's been on the Zoom with comedian and author Shappi Khorsandi about Emma Hamilton – maid, model, dancer, prostitute and actress to mistress of Lord Nelson and the protagonist of Shappi's new YA book, Kissing Emma. They're also talking sharp-elbowed middle-class mums and how youngsters are failed by the system.And Hannah's Rated or Dated pick of 1951's A Streetcar Named Desire might out Mick as some sort of philistine, but it doesn't stop the pair of them getting hot under the collar about the genius of Tennessee Williams.

On this episode of Making the Money Work podcast, comedian Shappi Khorsandi joins Andi Peters and Simon Lambert to discuss how she built a career in comedy, her unusual life as the daughter of an exiled Iranian poet - and how she once hired Alan Carr to work in a charity call centre. This is the final episode of five in the Making the Money Work series, in partnership with FSCS, that has appeared in the This is Money podcast feed every fortnight since the start of the year. We hope you have enjoyed them. Your usual This is Money podcast will continue to be published every Friday How do you make comedy pay the bills? That’s not a problem for the handful of star names with giant arena tours, but what about the majority of comedians who’ve dedicated a life’s work to standing up and making people laugh without raking in millions? Shappi tells of her route to becoming a comedian and how she realised a job in an office wasn’t for her early on, swapping that for being a cleaner and nude life model for art students - because she could do those jobs while daydreaming.  Later on, she says having stripped off to sit for artists meant she was less worried about getting up on stage and doing stand-up in front of a crowd. The comedian, who has appeared on popular TV shows including Have I Got News for You, QI, Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week, is a single mother-of-two who supports her and her two children alone and has struggled to make ends meet. Shappi says she spent many years being ‘skint’ but that when her career took off, she was so taken aback at suddenly having money that she had to learn she had earned it and was worth it, and not to be overly generous in giving it away. She says she loves her work so much that she cannot imagine ever doing anything else, but now plans her comedy and writing so that the money she earns enables her to spend the time she wants to with her children. And as for the money she earned for doing I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here?  That, says Shappi, bought her entire year of bedtimes with her children.

Shappi Khorsandi’s life is disorganised. A single mother of two and a stand-up comedian and writer, Shappi is busy. She doesn’t know what money is coming into or out of her account, her love of charity shopping is getting out of control, her prized family photographs are shoved in a box in the back of the wardrobe and the clutter is overwhelming. She's tried the famous Marie Kondo method of tidying up, but it hasn't helped a bit. She hates being disorganised. She wants to do something about it! Should Shappi just learn to embrace the chaos? Or can professional help put her life in order? Produced by Amy Wheel for BBC Cymru Wales

In this episode, comedian and author Shappi Khorsandi talks to host Tiff Stevenson about blending the political and the personal in her stand-up, about being a columnist and author, and her early childhood.  They also talk about comedy as therapy, a defence mechanism, and as a comfort.You can read the column Shappi and Tiff discuss here: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/iran-hijab-protests-headscarf-take-off-islam-muslims-middle-east-western-liberals-a8248106.htmlAnd Shappi's book here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/110/1109896/nina-is-not-ok/9781785031373.html

Comedian and author Shappi Khorsandi has been desperate to tell the story of Emma, Lady Hamilton as she’s quite simply one of her greatest fans. Everyone knows Emma Hamilton as simply the seducer of Admiral Horatio Nelson but according to Shappi she was more than that; history has simply palmed her off as a prostitute, a mistress, without looking at the deeper story of what she suffered and endured. In this programme Shappi, with help from Professor Kate Williams, author of ‘England’s Mistress’, makes the case for how this woman born into poverty clawed her way up through London’s sordid underworld and became fantastically famous posing for artist George Romney. She also became an ambassador’s wife and mixed in diplomatic circles and became the confidante of both Marie Antoinette and the Queen of Naples.

You know comedian Shappi Khorsandi from Live at the Apollo and her legendary shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, but Shappi was learning how to make people laugh well before she picked up the mic. In this funny, fascinating, and at times emotional interview with James O’Brien, Shappi shares the story of her family fleeing Iran in the face of revolution, the uncovering of an assassination plot against her father and the paranoia that revelation instilled in her family, and her struggles adapting to life in Britain. But like any good comedian, Shappi manages to find the funny in almost all of it. Head to http://www.britishpodcastawards.com/vote to vote for the show to win the Listener's Choice Award.

Comedian Shappi Khorsandi joins Richard E. Grant in the Penguin studio to talk about her debut novel, Nina is Not OK. Quite dark and very funny, it focuses on the teenage struggles of Nina, who absolutely does NOT have a drink problem. Shappi brings with her a number of objects that have shaped her career, ranging from Morph to Charlie Chaplin, and tells Richard how the pain of leaving her beloved homeland of Iran still brings her to tears. And Shappi makes it quite clear that she is not Nina - OK! #PenguinPodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rich's newfound vanity for expensive footwear means he is in agony as his new boots have rubbed against his feet and he's bleeding into his socks. His guest Shappi Khorsandi is also somewhat crooked by a muscle injury in her leg. And neither of them have had enough sleep and so they're being very indiscrete and talking nonsense. We will find out what people of different nations smell like and which movie star works out in the same park as Shappi, plus reminiscences about the Tempting Tattie and crying into baked potatoes. With a 5 minute set from comedy legend Simon Donald (buy his brilliant book: http://amzn.to/SimonDonaldBook) and the chance to win some waterproof plasters (but only if you came to the actual show). It's still number one in the podcast charts, despite a temporary slip.
