Action Fraud

Action Fraud is the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime, operated by the City of London Police. It serves as the primary channel for individuals and businesses to report suspected fraud, scams, and cyberattacks, which are then assessed and referred to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) for investigation.

Coverage includes updates on fraud trends affecting UK businesses, alerts on new scam techniques, and statistics from Action Fraud’s quarterly and annual reports. Editorial reporting also examines guidance issued for preventing and detecting fraud—covering areas such as phishing, invoice fraud, payroll diversion, investment scams, and cyber-enabled crime.
