BOB has been asked by a resident to share "The Little Book of Big Scams", as published by the Metropolitan Police.
"Over 160,000 copies of this booklet have been given to local communities and businesses around London ... [and] ... has been adopted by over 20 constabularies and agencies nationally, to help spread valuable fraud prevention advice to the public"
In the overview to the booklet Gloria Hunniford states:
"As you will read in this excellent and extremely accurate booklet, the current types of frauds people are experiencing today can range from the more recognisable face-to-face fraud to those carried out by someone anonymously online. The advances in technology enabling most of us to more easily carry out day to day tasks are frequently exploited by those fraudsters who wish to steal our valuable information or money.
I hope that the information and advice contained in this booklet will empower you to identify potential frauds and prevent the loss of your valuable data to those so intent on stealing it. Also, if you are a victim of fraud this booklet will provide advice on the best course of action to report and remedy the unfortunate situation you may find yourself in."
