When we are all trying to keep hold of our money as much as possible, some people want to take it from us using nefarious means. And a warning is being sent out to bank customers about fraudsters targeting people using Apple Pay, Google Pay and other digital wallets.
More and more of us are using electronic means of purchasing goods and services - quickly flashing our phones and cards and paying with a beep. But as technology advances, so to do the tricks of the criminal trade.
The Co-operative Bank has been sending out messages to its customers warning about digital wallet scams. It says it is seeing fraudsters impersonating bank and service providers to request information they need to be able to use debit or credit cards, to commit fraud on people's accounts.
