Fighting Back
National Fraud Helpline has been set up to lead the fightback against fraud.
We know the extreme stress, upset and often financially devastating results of scams.
Victims’ lives can often be changed forever. This is why some of our work is focused on fraud prevention.
Using Technology
National Fraud Helpline eventually aims to produce cutting edge anti-fraud technology.
In the first instance, we want to produce software that will allow us to produce real time warnings to anyone who signs up to our newsletter to prevent them from falling victim to fraud.
On top of this, we have ambitious goals to create anti-fraud technology that can be used throughout society to defeat the scammers.
This could be bespoke warnings when you are surfing social media or practical technology interventions when you are about to make purchases.
Fraud is an international multi-billion pound business and we believe the only way to defeat it is by adopting the latest technological advances.
Awareness
We see educating the public on how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud as one of our key roles.
Every day we are producing stories and information to help prevent fraud.
We work with the national and regional media to get our message out to as many people as possible.
Our National Fraud News page is updated on a daily basis with the latest scams and fraud-related news.
We believe the more we can educate the public about fraud the better equipped they are to protect themselves.
Our newsletter also gives helpful advice and tips straight to your inbox on keeping yourself safe.
Campaigning
We believe that everyone who can help with fraud prevention needs to get involved.
That is why we have a campaigning wing that aims to target those who can help the most.
We believe that organisations including banks and social media companies plus Governmental bodies should all be doing more.
Our aim is to bring all stakeholders together to help create solutions.
The National Fraud Helpline Manifesto is asking for eight key changes to help create better fraud protections for members of the public and UK businesses.
We also aim to campaign at a Parliamentary level to help get the change that we believe is required to protect the public and help defeat the fraudsters.
We’re proud to have sponsored a report by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Banking which is examining issues around ‘APP fraud and banks’.
