Some of our service users who have had their benefits or civil claim settled might be thinking of investing their money, just as Mr B did recently. He had seen an advert online claiming that Sir Keir Starmer was promoting an investment opportunity. The advert turned out to be a deep fake and he had given away £200 to a scammer. Luckily, before he could be convinced to part with any more money, his bank intervened and gave him some advice.
If you are thinking about investing your lump sum, always carry out thorough research. Age UK offers some advice and guidance.
