Take Five to Stop Fraud
Led by UK Finance, Take Five is a national campaign that offers straight-forward and impartial advice to help everyone protect themselves from preventable financial fraud.
Criminals want your money and they are experts at getting it.
They will go to great lengths to impersonate people, organisations and the police, using calls, emails, texts and social media to manipulate you.
Even the savviest person can be tricked into revealing security details or sending them money.
Take a moment to stop and think: it could protect you and your money
