NatWest has issued an urgent alert to people to beware of cryptocurrency scams (Tim Goode/PA)NatWest has issued an alert to people to beware of cryptocurrency scams. The frauds typically involve criminals posting adverts online carrying a bogus celebrity endorsement on a fake website with an article promoting cryptocurrency.

If you did not set the wallet up yourself or a cryptocurrency trader persuaded you to download remote access software onto your computer, this could be a sign of a scam.
