The 2023 Fraud Strategy sets out how the Government will:

• Pursue Fraudsters – increasing law enforcement capacity to pursue and disrupt fraudsters.
• Block Fraud – working with industry to block frauds from reaching the public in the first place.
• Empower People – help people to avoid fraud and respond appropriately when it does get through.

To address fraud crimes, the UK government has launched a brand-new national cross-government anti-fraud campaign, ‘Stop! Think Fraud’. Led by the Home Office, working in collaboration with partners such as the National Cyber Security Centre, Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, City of London Police, and the National Crime Agency. This campaign streamlines anti-fraud communications and makes it easier for the public to recognise fraud and take steps to protect themselves, their family, and friends.

Mobile UK is working in partnership with the Home Office in supporting the public to identify fraud and take the necessary steps to prevent it.
