A former Coronation Street star issued a warning after he was scammed out of £50,000.
Adam Rickitt is renowned for his role as Nick Tilsley on the long running soap. The 44-year-old appeared on Good Morning Britain alongside his news correspondent wife, Katy.
They told broadcasters Ed Balls and Susanna Reid how they fell victim to fraudsters claiming to be from Barclays bank. Adam received a text purporting to be from the bank warning that there had been “suspicious activity” on his account and then received a call from an 0845 number, claiming to be the bank’s fraud department.
