Scams

No one thinks they’ll be caught out by a scam, but it happens more than you’d think.

We’re here to help you understand the different ways you could be scammed, and how to recognise them so you're confident you can spot one and let friends and family know too.

We've also got guidance, so that if the worst does happen, you'll know what to do next and who you need to contact to report a scam.
