Citizens Advice Scams Survey

Citizens Advice is working with Trading Standards and other organisations to combat scams.

Scams and frauds cost people millions every year, causing misery and distress. People can lose their life savings, find themselves with crippling debts and experience mental health problems.

You can help the campaign by telling us which scams you are most worried about. If you have been scammed or know someone who has been scammed take part in the survey on the Citizens Advice website.
