They receive reports of fraud from a number of different sources, one of those being Action Fraud. They have been working on a project called Operation SIGNATURE which aims to identify vulnerable victims of fraud throughout Nottinghamshire. The most high risk vulnerable victims will then receive a personalised fraud protect visit, where we will discuss the type of scam they’ve encountered & educate them going forward, increasing their knowledge and awareness of fraud & different types of scams.
Part of their role is also to work pro-actively throughout Nottinghamshire, to help prevent individuals from falling victim in the first place. They have been doing this by simply trying to reach as many people as they possibly can, through social media scam alerts, attending events, putting leaflets in various locations & doing radio shows.
