Hitting back at the fraudsters

Here is now a task force called Action Fraud http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/ which is looking to gather information about spam and fraudulent emails in order to try and put a stop to them.

Many of you will have received such emails offering rolex watches, cheap medications or tell you that you are about to come into lots of money. You are also able to forward messages to this Action fraud group if you have been conned or ripped off by such emails.

Instructions are as follows:

You can now forward on scam emails you receive to Action Fraud at [email protected]. Its a genuine site which you can visit to learn more Important: When you send an email you are doing so over the open internet, which one cannot guarantee the security of. Therefore please do not send personal information, such as your address or bank account details, when emailing Action Fraud.

I thought it a good new facility that was worth sharing as widely as possible -hence this post you can read more about it at http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/
