We consider all types of fraud to have been committed by criminals, not scammers. We are working closely with Action Fraud <br>and the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau to ensure that the public has the information they need to protect themselves. When a serious threat or a new type of fraud is identified, Action Fraud places an alert on its website with <br>advice for individuals to protect themselves from becoming victims. Members of the public can sign up to receive these alerts by email. We are supporting local forces and agencies to deliver effective protective advice to the public <br>on fraud, including telephone scams, in collaboration with the City of London Police. <br><br>We are also working closely with Financial Fraud Action UK and the British Bankers’ Association who have issued advice to consumers on how to protect themselves from fraudsters who target people on the phone.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 02/02/2015 14:10:49 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
