Martin Lewis issues 'clever' new Post Office scam warning

Martin Lewis has warned Post Office customers of a "clever" new scam that sees criminals "getting your bank account details".

The Money Saving Expert website founder took to Twitter to warn his followers of conmen pretending to be the Post Office. The criminals tell victims that they have a parcel for them and will not deliver it until they pay a fee by inputting their bank details.

Martin warned that the message didn't actually mention a fee until you click the link. It only mentions "delays in transit" and offers "a date to reschedule" causing it to look less suspicious.
