Raising scam awareness with the Trading Standards South West’s campaigns
From deceptive emails to fraudulent phone calls, scammers employ various tactics to exploit victims. Trading Standards South West has launched a vital initiative known as ScamWise, aimed at equipping individuals with knowledge of how to deal with these scams.
ScamWise
ScamWise is a resourceful hub, offering essential information and guidance to individuals on spotting, preventing, and reporting scams. Scammers employ a range of strategies to deceive and defraud unsuspecting victims. Through ScamWise, the Trading Standards South West aims to spread the knowledge needed to recognise and avoid falling victim to scams.
Doorstep Crime
A central focus of Trading Standards South West‘s campaign is Doorstep Crime. This includes various fraudulent activities such as burglary and rogue traders. These crimes often target vulnerable individuals, coercing them into unfair contracts or providing poor services, resulting in financial loss and emotional distress.
