UK law enforcement and partners from government and private sectors are working to raise awareness against fraud.
Criminals are expert at impersonating people, organizations, and the police, so it is recommended to stop, challenge, and protect oneself from fraud.
Some common scams currently circulating include energy bill rebates, cost of living payments, fuel vouchers, phone bill discounts, supermarket offers, and fake investment opportunities.
Victims should report suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk and suspicious texts to 7726. They can also forward phishing attempts to Action Fraud.
It is important to be cautious and verify offers that seem too good to be true, as well as never provide personal and financial information.
