Holly Willoughby issues warning after being 'caught' by fake delivery text scam

Holly Willoughby has urged people to be vigilant to scams after almost falling for one herself.

On the show, Alexis explained that certain types of scam are more common this type of year, including the fake delivery text.

The 41-year-old said: “The fake delivery text - this is what I was saying to you, I had the same thing and absolutely fell for it. At a certain point I then went, ‘no this doesn’t look right’ but it caught me, for sure.”

He said: “As we said before, this is the beginning of a much bigger scam.

"You pay £2.99, get a phone call two weeks down the line from people pretending they're your bank and they say, 'remember that text message that you answered? That's a scam and now we need to move all your money to a [supposedly] safe account.' And, that's how they get all your money so beware."

"It was only when I clicked and saw you had to enter your bank details and I thought, 'Oh my god, don't do it' and deleted it. Even though we talk about it all the time."

When asked what it was that made her twig that it was a scam, she explained: "The moment I saw bank details I though, 'Oh ok, I get this.'"
