Natwest has issued a warning to anyone looking to buy an air fryer this Christmas.
With energy prices at an all-time high, the air fryer is expected to a popular present this festive season. However, the bank has warned Christmas shoppers to be vigilant as it estimates around £10m will be stolen by fraudsters between Black Friday and Christmas through purchase scams.
A purchase scam is when fraudsters sell non-existent products at a discounted price to attract buyers. This is to prompt the victim to make a payment but the products do not exist and never arrive.
