Scams Awareness Campaign 2020
Are you #ScamAware ? This campaign is an opportunity for organisations nationally and locally to give people the skills and confidence to identify scams, share their experiences and take action by reporting suspicious activity.
Citizens Advice research has shown that as many as 1 in 3 adults have been the victim of a scam since the coronavirus outbreak as more and more fraudsters take advantage of those in a vulnerable position.
