Fraud fighters arm potential victims with safety advice
PCSO Sarah Dufton supported a fraud awareness event at the Nationwide Building Society, on Oxford Street, on Thursday, July 26, giving out advice and information on how to protect yourself, things to look out for and how to report fraud.
She also gave out purse chains to customers at the bank which could help them keep their purse or wallet secure while out shopping.

“By following some simple steps people can protect themselves from fraudsters from accessing their finances or personal information and we were pleased to be able to work with the staff at Nationwide Building Society around this issue.”
