A new poll by our partners at @Wise, the international money app, reveals a startling fact: 28% of Brits have fallen victim to scams in the past year—that's around 15 million people in the UK! Of these, 17% faced significant financial losses, and 10% had to delay their retirement plans.
We are proud to support Wise as they launch the Royal Academy of Scamatic Arts (RASA). This initiative kicks off with a series of behind-the-scenes videos from the fictional institution, focusing on five common scams: impersonation, rental, employment, investment, and marketplace. #ScamAware
Aaron Wilson, Fraud Prevention Lead at @Wise, says, "Education is key to preventing scams. This year, we've seen a significant reduction in the amount of scams on our platform, thanks to our investment in scam prevention. However, awareness and education are the most effective way to stop scammers. By partnering with We Fight Fraud and launching this campaign, we are committing to educate our customers and the wider public on how to stay safe.”
The first instalment of RASA is out today! Tune in to hear our Chief Innovation Officer @TonySales1 discuss how you and your customers can stay safe from scams across various media channels. #WeFightFraudTogether

There is still a huge false assumption that crime is a purely cash based economy. @WeFightFraud forthcoming whitepaper explains how this article raconteur.net/technology/cyb… has got it wrong. Very few criminals are sitting on hoards of cash unable to get it in the bank..
Not all attacks are digital! #WFFL2021

When WFF’s Tony Sales demonstrated Sim Swap on BBC’s Watchdog 2 years ago, he was condemned as a ’scaremonger’ by some media commentators.
Organisations which get Tony in to test them see the value in being ahead of the news! hubs.ly/H0Gqk9W0

RT @Scamtastic1: Romance fraudsters take time to groom victims and the victims really believe they are in a 'relationship'. It's not as simple as "girl meets boy, boy asks for money". Warn family and friends about #Romancefraud #Tell2 xitter.cf/Scamtastic1/status/136…
