Stop! Think Fraud, the National Campaign Against Fraud has been launched and is backed by leading counter fraud experts who are uniting under one voice to provide consistent, clear and robust anti-fraud advice to the public.
Fraud accounts for around 40% of all crime in Wales and England, with an estimated 3.2 million offences each year. The estimated cost of fraud to society is £6.8 billion in Wales and England.
Nobody is immune from fraud. The criminals behind it target people online and, in their homes, often emotionally manipulating their victims before they steal money or personal data.
But there is something we can do. By staying vigilant and always taking a moment to stop, think and check whenever we’re approached, we can help to protect ourselves and each other from fraud.
The Stop! Think Fraud campaign will give you the knowledge and tools you need to stay ahead of scams.
