About Course

Reporting a suspicious message only takes a minute, and it helps get scam numbers blocked and fake websites taken down. But there are different places to report different things. This course is a simple, practical guide to the official reporting routes in the UK, based on the government’s Stop! Think Fraud campaign – with a handy summary to keep by the phone.

This course gives general information about reporting scams in the UK. Reporting routes can change; check the Stop! Think Fraud website for the latest information.
