AVOID AND REPORT INTERNET SCAMS AND PHISHING

Skip to contents of guide


CONTENTS

 1. Report internet scams and phishing
 2. Report scam HMRC emails, texts, phone calls and letters
 3. Report visa and immigration scams


REPORT INTERNET SCAMS AND PHISHING

Report misleading websites, emails, phone numbers, phone calls or text messages
you think may be suspicious.

Do not give out private information (such as bank details or passwords), reply
to text messages, download attachments or click on any links in emails if you’re
not sure they’re genuine.


EMAILS

Forward suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will investigate it.


TEXT MESSAGES

Forward suspicious text messages to 7726 - it’s free.

This will report the message to your mobile phone provider.


ADVERTS

Report scam or misleading adverts to the Advertising Standards Authority. You
can report adverts found online, including in search engines, websites or on
social media.

You can also:

 * report scam or misleading adverts to Google if you found them in Google
   search results
 * report to Bing if you found them in Bing search results


IF YOU THINK YOU’VE BEEN A VICTIM OF AN ONLINE SCAM OR FRAUD

Contact Action Fraud if you think you’ve lost money or been hacked because of an
online scam or fraud and you’re in England or Wales. You can:

 * report online - either sign up for an account or continue as a ‘guest’
 * call 0300 123 2040

If you’re in Scotland and you’ve lost money because of an online scam or fraud,
report the crime to Police Scotland.


AVOID WEBSITES, EMAILS AND PHONE NUMBERS THAT IMITATE GOVERNMENT SERVICES

Some websites, emails or phone numbers look like they’re part of an official
government service when they’re not, or claim to help more than they actually
do. Some make you pay for things that would be free or cheaper if you used the
official government service.

Search on GOV.UK to find official government services and phone numbers, for
example if you want to apply to the DVLA for a driving licence.
