    If you're at a loss on what to do with your finances, we want to hear from you! 🤔💷 Tweet your questions or email martinlewis@itv.com & Martin might just answer it during our show on Thurs!
  • Thanks for the advice but I don't tweet I'm afraid and the concerns that I have regarding being scammed out of £60,000, I didn't want to publish on the forum. Many thanks for email address - I will try that.

    Action Fraud may be more help than Martin

    I rather doubt that.  The one thing that Action Fraud don't do is take action on fraud.  They only exist to stop you reporting fraud to the police, because the police can't cope with all the frauds being committed these days.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
