Aviva Fixed Term Savings

newlandlord555

I have been offered a good fixed term saving account by Aviva . 1 years investment term for the 3 year rate. 
Is this  a scam ?

What rate have you been offered? Do they even do savings accounts?

You don't give us much to go on. AFAIK Aviva do not do fixed rate savings. Where did you see this 'offer'? Google or Facebook? Chances are it's a clone scam. More details

How did you find out about this? If someone approached you or you just clicked a random advert on facebook, search result from google or fake comparison site then those are common ways to be scammed. Are they applying pressure on you to give them the money? I have not heard of Aviva offering retail savings accounts so would be very cautious. If you have any suspicions then do not proceed as you may not be dealing with the real Aviva

Yes I clicked on an ad somewhere online and got a email than a phonecall. Aviva Investors Fixed Interest High Yield Bond is what they call it . They initially quote about 3.5 % in fixed for 3 years . Then called me on phone . I said that was quite low and he offered me the same rate for a  1 year fixed term bond that I could cash in anytime after first 3 months with 30 days notice.  I guess its some kind of scam ?
