The national fraud reporting line Action Fraud wants people to discover the reality about fraud and cyber crime before it is too late. As crime prevention advice, Action Fraud is inviting people to share some of the myths that they have come across and any questions that they may have about them, using the hashtag #UrbanFraudMyths.
Police National Coordinator for Economic Crime, Commander Chris Greany, who will be overseeing the campaign said: “There are a number of misconceptions around fraud and cyber crime which often leave people vulnerable. This campaign will help to shatter these misconceptions and provide the public with a clearer picture, helping them to challenge possible urban myths and stop fraudsters in their tracks. The more information people have about the reality of fraud and cyber crime the easier it will be to stop it from taking place.” Visit: www.actionfraud.police.uk/resources-and-campaigns/urban-myths.
