Local priorities: Fraud Prevention

Dear Barnsbury residents,

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Fraud, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Action Fraud has been renamed as Report Fraud
https://www.reportfraud.police.uk/
You can contact them regarding issues such as spam text messages, phishing emails, other types of fraud & cyber crime

 

Fraud can affect anyone within the community, so we want to make sure you have the tools and knowledge to protect yourself from it. It comes in many different forms and across varying channels, whether that's through emails, phone calls or in person encounters. Some adults may be even more vulnerable to fraud or financial abuse, but it is something that everyone can be at risk of.

Please see a few resources below to protect you and others from potential fraudsters:
