Scams

Report a scam

You can report a scam as fraud or cybercrime to Action Fraud which is the UK's national reporting centre for fraud. They'll look into your report.

You'll usually get a police crime reference number if you've fallen victim to a scam. You should report anything you think may be a scam, even if you've not fallen victim to it. You might be able to stop others from being scammed if you report anything suspicious.

You can also report certain types of fraud to us. Fraud is a crime and we need your help to find the people who are cheating the system.
