Scams Awareness Month
May 2013 is Scams Awareness Month, currently being delivered by the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) alongside the Trading Standards Institute.
According to the CAB, more than three million people in the UK fall victim to scams every year, costing the country a staggering £3.5 billion per annum. Virtually half of us (48 per cent) have now been targeted by a scam at some point, demonstrating the size of the problem being taken on in this month’s campaign.
