The Government takes fraud extremely seriously and recognises the devastating impacts
these crimes can have. The Government has created the Joint Fraud Taskforce, which
brings together government, the banks and law enforcement to develop a collective
response to fraud. The objectives of the Taskforce are to protect the public and businesses
from fraud, reduce the impact of fraud on victims, and increase the disruption and
prosecution of fraudsters.<p> </p>It has also been made easier to report fraud to
law enforcement. Action Fraud is the UK’s reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime,
providing a central point of contact for information about fraud and financially motivated
internet crime.
