Several million cases of fraud and of computer misuse are reported to the police every year. It's staggering, but even more staggering is that so many of those crimes could have been prevented by making a few small changes in online behaviour.
To avoid becoming a victim of online crime you don’t need to be a computer expert. Developing a few good online habits drastically reduces your chances of becoming a victim of cyber crime, makes you less vulnerable and lets you use the web safely.
We've created the Little series of books and videos to explain some of the most common scams and give advice on how to avoid falling victim to them.
The current list of leaflets (in PDF) that are available to order are as follows;
· The Little Book of Big Scams, (5th edition)
· The Little Book of Cyber Scams (2nd edition)
· The Little Leaflet of Cyber Advice
· Little Booklet of Investment Scams
· Little Booklet of Phone Scams
· Little Leaflet of Covid Scams
The COVID scams leaflet is currently being printed and they hope to have some in their office by end of the month.
