Cybercrime fraud is now our most commonly reported crime, and it continues to grow apace. Most of the perpetrators are outside of UK Police jurisdiction so our main means of protection is education on how to spot a scam, what to do if you suspect a scam, and how to avoid being a target in future.

The Metropolitan Police Service have produced a short leaflet containing vital tips on ways to avoid Cybercrime. Everybody should clink on the link The Little Leaflet on Cyber Advice and read the top 10 tips.

The Metropolitan Police have also produced a second leaflet, with further advice on how to avoid fraud and scams. Again, everyone should click on the link The Little Book of Big Scams. It is a really fun read and everyone is encouraged to take a look.
