Victims’ shame, combined with the worry that they will not be supported if they come forward prevents so many reporting scams. Talking about fraud, scams and financial abuse will reduce the stigma, helping victims to feel able to report. #NoBlameNoShame #WeAreScamSurvivors

🚫The police will never contact you asking you to withdraw from your bank or purchase high value items for them to collect. 📞If you think that you may have been a victim of any type of scam, then contact your bank immediately, and report it to @actionfrauduk. #ScamAware

🗣 The phrase ‘fall for a scam’ is often used, but you don’t hear ‘fall for a burglary’. This language puts blame on the victim. We need to change the language we use when talking to, and about scam victims. #NoBlameNoShame #WeAreScamSurvivors

💳The average amount lost by victims is £1,730, but fewer than a third report the crime. Let’s take away the shame from victims and make scams part of everyday conversation. #NoBlameNoShame #WeAreScamSurvivors
