People trying to earn extra money have been warned to look out for fraud.
A survey showed 56% of people are likely to look for opportunities to make extra money to combat the cost of living crisis, according to the trade association, UK Finance's Take Five To Stop Fraud campaign. One in six admitted they would respond positively if someone approached them offering a loan or investment opportunity.
The survey suggested young people specifically are more at risk of fraudulent exchange. Overall, three in five people said they are concerned about falling victim to financial fraud or a scam.
