A new poll by our partners at @Wise, the international money app, reveals a startling fact: 28% of Brits have fallen victim to scams in the past year—that's around 15 million people in the UK! Of these, 17% faced significant financial losses, and 10% had to delay their retirement plans.
We are proud to support Wise as they launch the Royal Academy of Scamatic Arts (RASA). This initiative kicks off with a series of behind-the-scenes videos from the fictional institution, focusing on five common scams: impersonation, rental, employment, investment, and marketplace. #ScamAware
Aaron Wilson, Fraud Prevention Lead at @Wise, says, "Education is key to preventing scams. This year, we've seen a significant reduction in the amount of scams on our platform, thanks to our investment in scam prevention. However, awareness and education are the most effective way to stop scammers. By partnering with We Fight Fraud and launching this campaign, we are committing to educate our customers and the wider public on how to stay safe.”
The first instalment of RASA is out today! Tune in to hear our Chief Innovation Officer @TonySales1 discuss how you and your customers can stay safe from scams across various media channels. #WeFightFraudTogether

@JohnBecher7@GMB@crimlawuk It depends on what you call poverty I suppose! I can tell you that most estates in London will have kids that have knifes, they have either been threatened themselves or they have had trauma so bad it leads to them committing horrendous crimes. Have you ever spoken a youth ?
@JohnBecher7@GMB@crimlawuk Most criminal law have childhood trauma, they come from poverty. The majority of crime happens in the lower classes. We have always just punished without understanding. #facts!
