18 July 2026
- DPD scam text guide: removed the blanket claim that DPD never requests payment by text. The guide now distinguishes fraudulent redelivery fees from genuine import duties or taxes and requires independent parcel verification.
- Website-checking guide: removed universal company-number, Companies House, product-photography, and one-working-day response tests. Added sole-trader, new-company, statutory-rights, PayPal-deadline, APP-timetable, and Section 75 qualifications.
- Amazon phone-call guide: replaced the unsupported claim that Amazon never cold-calls with the narrower, sourced rules on OTPs, confidential information, remote access and independent account verification.
- Concert-ticket and holiday-compensation guides: corrected Section 75 wording from an inclusive £100 threshold or generic card payment to a qualifying credit purchase with a cash price over £100 and no more than £30,000, subject to the required relationship and other conditions.
- Methodology and structured data: clarified the limits of automated checks and stopped inferring an independent
reviewedByreviewer from an update date.
