The Little Book of Big Scams: Are you concerned about falling victim to fraud or scams? There is an excellent booklet produced by the Met Police to help protect people against fraudsters and scammers - you can download (or print) a pdf version here.

Their advice is - "if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is".

In the April 2026 update for u3a's there is a warning about fraudsters targeting people associated with charities. They have provided this link to Stop Think Fraud to help us in spotting fraud.
