Action Fraud are warning that Universal Credit claimants should remain vigilant over a spate of new scams in which fraudsters send emails and texts pretending to be the Department for Works and Pensions (DWP).
The fraud prevention group have said that it has been getting reports of scams which target vulnerable claimants, urging people to make sure they don't lose all their cash to bad actors.
While some scams have seen frauds approach people in the streets with claims of being from Jobcentre Plus, some people have reported being contacted online via social media groups, direct messages and adverts, according to MoneyHelper.
