Those celebrating Christmas are being reminded to stay alert to fraudsters who take advantage at this time of year.

Action Fraud, the national fraud and cybercrime reporting service, has launched their Christmas campaign, revealing 12 types of fraud to look out for throughout the festive season both in person and online.

If you’ve had money stolen by fraudsters or provided your financial information to someone, tell your bank immediately and report it to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040. If in Scotland, call Police Scotland on 101.
