Fraud & scams
The worrying rise in online financial scams
We are passionate about preventing consumer harm at FSCS. Here is an update on what we are doing to tackle a growing and particularly toxic threat to consumers: scams.

Sarah Marin talks about the challenges FSCS faces in preventing and reporting scams and why we’re keen to continue collaborating on scam prevention in 2022.

Scammers always look for ways to make you part with your money but it’s easy to stay scam smart, spot fraudsters and keep safe online when claiming with FSCS.
