Tier 3: The last shift
Increase in fraud on Instagram, support for workers in Tier 3 and a 'temporary' option for paying back debts that may help many over the worst of the crisis
The numbers of people targeted by thieves on Instagram has sharply risen during lockdown and Action Fraud is warning Instagram users to be wary of fraudulent investment posts offering 鈥榞et rich quick鈥� schemes. Criminals use the app to promote investment schemes, luring users with the promise of high returns. We speak to one man caught out.
As Tier 3 coronavirus restrictions expand, we look at the support in place for workers.
And it鈥檚 already estimated that nearly two million people who were not in financial difficulty before the pandemic are now struggling to pay all of their bills. Could a 'temporary' debt payment plan help them through the worst of the crisis?
