Fraud Fortnight

24 February to 8 March 2008

Fraud Fortnight aims to raise awareness about deceptive and seductive scams.

Scams are designed to trick you into giving away your money or your personal details. Scams can come in many forms - mail, email, telephone, over the Internet and door-to-door.

Fight the scammers. Don't respond.
