Actor Adam Rickitt and wife Katy will be joining us to reveal how he was duped into transferring tens of thousands of pounds to scammers as part of an Authorised Push Payment (APP) scam. Last Tuesday Adam received a text from Barclays Bank saying there was suspicious activity on his account and that a member of their fraud team would call him. When the call came through he crossreferenced the 0845 number on the Barclay’s website where it was listed as the bank’s fraud team. The person on the line told him that someone had tried to withdraw cash at the bank’s Crewe (Cheshire) branch using his passport, driving licence and signature. Adam checked his bank account which looked fine and called the number back from a friend’s phone. When they phoned back they told him he must make a ‘dummy payment’ in order to trigger their internal fraud systems which he did. When he later logged in to his account the money was gone.
