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

The Martin Lewis podcast is here and it\u2019s 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 \u2013 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\u2026 and why you REALLY need to figure out if you, or someone you know might be eligible for pension credits. It\u2019s a complex system but there\u2019s an eligibility checker to see if you\u2019re entitled to more \u2013 but you\u2019ve only got till May 19th \u2013 so get your skates on.

And this week\u2019s Tell Us is all about the last time you used cash, and Nihal takes on Martin\u2019s Money Mastermind one more time.
