Scams can be difficult to recognise and come in many different guises. Visit the Talk Community Directory for guidance on how to spot a scam and what to do if you think you’ve been scammed. There’s also a link to the Friends Against Scams website which contains a handy leaflet designed by the National Trading Standards Scams Team including an easy-read version, and translated versions in several languages.

To find out more about spotting scam emails and texts visit the National Cyber Security website for up to date information and advice.
