Cifas Responds to Met Police texting 70,000 fraud victims in UK

24 November 2022

Amber Burridge, Head of Intelligence for Cifas, said: ‘Criminals are always looking for ways to exploit consumers, often posing as trusted organisations in order to deceive people into handing over their personal and financial details.

‘In the first nine months of this year we’ve seen identity fraud increase by 34% compared to last year, with the UK heading into 2023 facing unprecedented levels of fraud. This operation represents a great step by the Met towards combatting fraud and its enablers, to prevent consumers and businesses paying the price.’
