Over 221,000 people fell victim to fraud last year, according to new figures from the CIFAS National Fraud Database.

While this marks an 11 per cent reduction on the remarkable levels witnessed the previous year, a closer look at the figures ‘completely dispels the idea that the tide has turned in the fight against fraud’, CIFAS warned.

It doesn’t take much to get hold of enough information to steal your identity.
