Four in 10 Brits receive more scam approaches during November and December

Four in 10 Brits receive more scam approaches during November and December.

A poll of 2,000 adults found 31 per cent are anxious they’ll fall victim to a scam when doing their present buying.

It was commissioned by NatWest as part of its ‘Scamvent Calendar’ launch – which is a unique twist on an advent calendar which is available in selected branches from the end of November, to highlight the 12 most common purchases at risk.

Hannah Byczkowski and Wilf Webster, familiar faces from series one of "The Traitors", have teamed up with NatWest to launch a new scam awareness video.

Drawing on their own experiences of navigating deception and trust on the show, Hannah and Wilf have flipped the script and are now helping to educate the public about the dangers of fraudulent online purchases, especially during the holiday season.
