Martin Lewis has issued a warning about a ‘clever’ new version of a delivery scam text which has been circulating since the early days of lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.
The founder of MoneySavingExpert.com shared with his 1.5 million followers on Twitter that he had received a delivery scam text, which the consumer champion warns is designed to steal the recipient’s bank details as it prompts them to pay a ‘fee’ by informing them that their parcel is delayed or needs rescheduled.
Martin wrote on Twitter: “Beware. Just had a clever version of the 'pay £1.99 for Post Office Parcel delivery' scam text, aiming to steal bank info.”
