Martin Lewis issues warning over scam calls as HMRC fraudsters increase

Martin Lewis has issues a warning to anyone receiving suspicious calls from fraudsters, claiming to be from organisations such as HMRC or the NHS.

He informed his followers he had received a questionable call himself, and explained what to do if you suspect someone to be a scammer. The Money Saving Expert urged people to remain vigilant, and never trust calls that come from out of nowhere.

This comes as a HMRC scam is on the rise across the country. People have reported a call which asks you to press one in order to be connected with an agent before stating legal action could be taken if you fail to comply, reports the Daily Record.
