Fraud awareness

According to the latest figures reported by the National Fraud Authority fraud costs each of us living in England and Wales around £621 a year. On the following pages you will find information and advice to ensure you are not one of the unlucky ones.

Check back regularly (add 'www.rbkc.gov.uk/fraudprevention' to your favourites) - we will publish news about the current issues and various types of scams and frauds being perpetrated. 

Please note, however, that these pages are for information only and we are not able to receive details of any issues you may have, unless the fraud is being perpetrated against the Council itself. Please see Fraud Reporting to report a fraud against the Council.

We also welcome any feedback you may have, please email us at investigations@rbkc.gov.uk
