Martin Lewis warns of scam

The financial expert spoke on Good Morning, Britain about the £400 scam.

Martin Lewis has been joining Susanna Reid on Mondays due to the financial crisis.

Speaking on Monday, he said: “If you are contacted about the £66 a month, £400 winter electricity payment, you will be contacted by your energy firm, to give you info about it.

“You will not be asked to fill in any details. You should not fill in any details. If somebody asks you for details, even if it’s look like Gov.uk – or it looks like it is, it really isn’t. It is trying to scam you and get your details to data mine you or break into your bank account.

“Don’t touch them, don’t open them, don’t look at them. Just delete them. Simple as that. Your own firm will contact you but it will not be contacting you for you to do anything. It will just be giving you information.”
