  • Scams Awareness Month 2015

    Each year millions of people in the UK fall prey to scammers. Some estimates of the total cost of mass-marketed scams are as high as £5 billion. The truth is - with reporting levels as low as 5 per cent - this cost could be far higher.

    However, talking of thousands, millions or even billions of pounds undervalues the wider social cost of scams: the blight they bring to people’s lives, the emotional trauma for families and the loss of confidence among not only their victims, but every consumer who hears about them.

    Scams Awareness Month 2015 (SAM15) will take place this July with the theme "Don't be Rushed, Don't be Hushed". The campaign aims to stop people being rushed into hasty decisions by scammers and to end victims being hushed into silence by a sense of shame, foolhardiness, or weary acceptance.

    Throughout July we will look at the four key channels used to conduct scams including telephone, online, mail and doorstep scams.

    Citizens Advice will provide resources including model press releases, blogs and a range of online content to reflect the weekly themes. Look out for the website www.citizensadvice.org.uk/sam15, when it is launched in June, where you will find more details about activities, and resources to help you take part.

    You can tweet #ScamAware or email pictures and updates to campaigns@citizensadvice.org.uk.
