Award-winning financial journalist Martin Lewis has warned the public of a 'clever' new delivery scam which has been going around since early 2020. Martin, who founded MoneySavingExpert.com, told his 1.5 million Twitter followers that he had received one of the scam texts himself.
The consumer champion has warned the public that the offending text tells those who receive it that a parcel for them has been delayed or needs to be rescheduled, and asks them to pay a 'fee'. Sadly, some recipients have fallen for the scam and had their bank details stolen.
Warning his followers on Twitter, Martin wrote: "Beware. Just had a clever version of the 'pay £1.99 for Post Office Parcel delivery' scam text, aiming to steal bank info."
