Consumer group Which? has issued a warning about four sophisticated scams to watch out for this year.

The group said several convincing scams are currently circulating, which can dupe recipients into handing over their personal details and ultimately lose money from their bank accounts.

The warning comes after the UK government earlier this month published a new fraud strategy, which includes banning cold calls on all financial products, such as those relating to insurance or sham cryptocurrency schemes.
