- 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 cross-referenced 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.

If Barclays had enough operators to answer the phone instead of putting people in long queues he would have been able to find out it was fake.
Ghosting numbers should be outlawed on all communication /mobile networks.
The best way to avoid being scammed is when anybody rings you from a number you don't recognize let them introduce themselves, and then tell them to eff off. I've been doing this for years and so far, I've never been scammed.
Always have 2 phones while talking to scammers you can be calling bank with other phone
Bravo, WORLDCYBERTEAM. I’m so glad you’re out there fighting these scumbags. We must do everything in our power to protect the elderly and the general public from these despicable scammers. You’re a true hero, ✊
For the scammers to know so much details about an account smacks of an inside job.
Google sells data to companies
You'd be amazed how much of your data is sold on.
Interesting point
Scammed out of 2 grand before I was pretty pissed of but learnt my lesson
Brits always get their money back on these types of things. In America if you do something like this they consider it stupidity and you'll lose everything
If the scammers already have all their info, why do they even need to call the people...why don't they just withdraw their money?
Spoofing or ghosting ? If one calls back to the fraud line by dialing the number one by one and not press call back button using the same mobile phone, you should be able to connect to the authentic fraud team.
Should have stayed on the phone to customer services a little longer.
Just hang the phone up and contact your bank yourself
Funny how every two years Adam has some reason to be interviewed by GMB or Loose Women despite a career that ended 20 years ago and never amounted to much to begin with
I still like him and he still comes across as a lovely, sensitive and caring guy..He's still that 22 year old from 1999..❤ I breathe again 🍾🐣🐥🐤. Happy Easter 🎉 2024

God how handsome is he still
the wife is cute, he's pretty average
Maybe! If did not boast what ey gt! Non these ppl would contact!🙄👍😂
What an idiot, he should have verified with his actual bank! Still, fraudsters should lose their lying tongues.
He tried to but they keep you waiting in a queue for ages when you try to phone them.
