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.

Even the savviest person can be tricked into revealing security details or sending them money.
