@nytimes This makes me feel physically sick. It’s bad enough that this happens online but for it to be knowingly enabled by parents for financial gain is horrific.
Alongside other UK banks we're supporting the @DailyMailUK's letter to the Prime Minister, calling for a crackdown on social media scams.
By collaborating across industries we can better protect our customers from fraud and stop the scammers.

We were delighted to welcome the Minister Tom Arthur @scotgoveconomy and Derek Mitchell CEO of @citadvicescot this morning. Our staff and volunteers were able to showcase and discuss the work of GNWCAB and the positive impact it has on the community and its people.
Citizens Advice Scotland welcome this timely report from the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee. We are pleased to see our evidence and asks represented in the priorities recommended by the Committee.
In fact, online advice for those who are facing eviction because their home is being repossessed saw its third-highest level of views since the page was created in May 2021.
Views have increased by 341% since May 2022.
In May views of our online advice pages around homelessness were viewed more than ever before, and have increased by 30% since May 2022.
Aoife Deery from our Social Justice team spoke to @BBCNewsbeat earlier today.
Absolutely agree with @HelenChambers on this one: @CitAdviceScot we’ve been advocating for some time for the delivery of outcomes for people to be recognised in procurement and contracting, rather than a race to the bottom….
"Bluntly, procurement is not fit for purpose in these settings & it's time to call that out. It's a market based approach design for the cost effective purchase of goods, commodities & physical assets, not social impact"
@HelenChambers calls for reform

Following our earlier work and provision of evidence, CAS strongly welcomes the guidance issued by CAP to protect consumers from misleading advertising in telecoms contracts. We're pleased that this guidance encompasses mid-contract price rises within mobile & broadband contracts

@scottish_water@ForestryLS@midgov@EDCouncil Hi - where can I contact the ranger at gladhouse please? It is heaving up here today and people chainsawing trees etc but no sign of them and no contact info anywhere.
This is something we have been calling for and will save struggling consumers from unnecessary fees and unsuitable debt products, making sure they get good quality debt advice.
