Anyone having a scammer getting in touch with you, please, do forward it to me.
I am trying to build a compilation of stories with these individuals.

Hello Lindsay

Welcome to the community

Can you clarify this bit please?

Hi Lindsey

Not quite sure what you mean

If it’s that you think you’ve been scammed by a monzo account customer then send full details to help@monzo.com

Sorry no idea why that’s sent like that… I’ve been a victim of fraud and the bank account I transferred stupidly was a Monzo account.

Very sorry to hear that

As @Rat_au_van says above the best option, supposing you are not yourself a Monzo account holder, is to use the email address, providing any details you can

Hope it gets sorted
