Scamnesty

Paul Keetch MP is supporting a nationwide 'Scamnesty' campaign by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) by signing Early Day Motion 738 - Scams Awareness Month Campaign, which aims to help end the scourge of mass marketing scam mailings in the UK.

Nearly half of the UK adult population has been targeted by a scam. Every year, 3.2 million adults - one in 15 people - across the country fail victim to a scam involving deceptive unsolicited mailings, phone calls, or emails, which are designed to con victims of their cash. UK consumers lose around a staggering £3.5 billion to scams each year.

If you think you have been a victim of a scam, or you suspect a scam, visit Consumer Direct for clear and practical advice at www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/scamnesty or alternatively call them on 08454 04 05 06.
