Friends against Scams

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

 

Friends Against Scams is a National Trading Standards Scams Team initiative, which aims to protect and prevent people from becoming victims of scams by empowering people to take a stand against scams.

  • Scams cost the UK economy £5-£10 Billion a year
  • 53% of people over 65 have been targeted by scams
  • Only 5% of scams are reported
  • Our statistics indicate that the average scam victim has lost over £3000

Anybody can join Friends Against Scams and make a difference in their own way.

Complete the online training and raise awareness throughout your community. Together we can create a scam free nation! More information, and access the training at www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk/
