Scam-busters, the best debit card and is cash king?

The Martin Lewis podcast is here and it’s an emotional one. As it is announced that the UK is to ban all cold calls selling financial products as part of a national crackdown on scams, Martin reveals that a relative of his was the victim of a scam call earlier this week – while he was in discussions with the government about the policy. Did you know 41% of crime in the UK is now fraud? Martin talks about how to keep yourself, and those you care about, safe.

Plus how you can get cashback on purchases, as well as paying no fees abroad… and why you REALLY need to figure out if you, or someone you know might be eligible for pension credits. It’s a complex system but there’s an eligibility checker to see if you’re entitled to more – but you’ve only got till May 19th – so get your skates on.

And this week’s Tell Us is all about the last time you used cash, and Nihal takes on Martin’s Money Mastermind one more time.
