#204 Dealing with text and phone scams

I'm joined by Adam French, Senior Consumer Rights Editor at Which? to talk about the increasing number of scams coming through to our mobile phones. From text messages asking us to pay for deliveries through to calls claiming to be from HMRC, there's a good chance you've seen these - but have you fallen for one? Find out how the tricks scammers use and how to protect yourself. ABOUT CASH CHATS Cash Chats is presented by money blogger and broadcaster Andy Webb.
