Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to raise awareness of online scams.

The national Stop! Think Fraud campaign helps the public recognise fraud and scams, including common scams people may see online, and the steps they can take to protect themselves, their family and friends.

The website can be accessed at Stop! Think Fraud - How to stay safe from scams and is regularly updated. We are also working with tech companies to promote the messaging of the Stop! Think Fraud campaign on their platforms, as a commitment under the Online Fraud Charter.

Improving public awareness and victim support will be one of the seven key areas in the next Fraud Strategy.
