Romance Fraud.

Romance Fraud is never the fault of the victim.

This week your local neighbourhood team has been out in your local community to distribute information and awareness about #OPTONIC- ROMANCE FRAUD. 

Being targeted with romance fraud can evoke many different feelings and emotions. Many people will feel ashamed and blame themselves which will frequently be a barrier to seeking further help and support. Romance Fraud is never the fault of the victim.

Key points:

If you have been targeted with a romance scam, contact your bank straight away and report it to Action Fraud. Reports can be made online at reporting.actionfraud.police.uk/login or by phoning 0300 123 2040 (Text phone: 0300 123 2050) Mon to Fri, 8am to 8pm and Police via 101 or 999.
