Cyber Crime summary for August 2025

Dear Resident,

Hope you are well

Please see attached – a total of £637,815 reported losses for the Borough of Richmond. A figure slightly distorted by the fraud figure of £222,396 for one case, but the total figure is only reported losses, actual loss will be considerably larger. 

Some very useful information on current scams is in the free “which” scam alert service which is described at the bottom of page four.

Lastly – if you get scam calls block them! Speak to your telephone provider about how you can do this. 

Stay safe!
