What happened

Scammers reuse personal details harvested from fake Esta websites – and texts and calls can keep arriving for months When the British actor Lisa Riley was preparing to travel to the US last year, she applied online for an Esta so she would not need a visa.

Key facts

  • Reported by The Guardian and published Sun, 04 Oct 2026 06:00:20 UTC.

Why it matters

Economic releases and corporate results feed directly into rate expectations, currency moves and equity pricing, so the detail here often matters more to markets than the headline itself.

What to watch next

  • Revisions to the initial figures once fuller data is released
  • How rate expectations and index futures respond
  • Guidance or commentary from the companies and policymakers involved
