This Morning star Matthew Wright has been left devastated and at the 'lowest point' as scammers managed to steal £19K from his accounts after he fell victim to a delivery fraud message.
Matthew Wright has opened up about how scammers have taken £19,000 from his bank account this week after he fell victim to a virtual fraud. The LBC host explained to listeners how the fraudsters sent an email impersonating courier company Evri - detailing how he had missed the delivery of a laptop.
Explaining how he thought 'no more of it', Matthew's laptop arrived the following day but wasn’t delivered by Evri. He shared: "Later in that day, I got a message from American Express asking if I’d clicked on a link for an Evri scam, I said. 'Yeah I had.'"Going on to spend an hour on the phone with a person claiming to be from American Express, Matthew explained how he went through the transaction details.
But then, when Matthew got a call from his real bank just moments later, he realised he hadn't spoke to anyone legitimate thus far. After clarifying what had happened with the companies, Matthew managed to cancel most of the transactions, but one for £19,000 is still missing from his account.
