Dr Bernard Herdan, chief executive of the National Fraud Authority:

“Fraud, of any value, is a serious crime that devastates lives and often funds more organised crime like drug smuggling and people trafficking. We’re very pleased to see so many people speaking up, but we know there are many more victims out there. People often feel embarrassed, but they shouldn’t. There are many types of fraud and anyone can become a victim. If you report it to http://www.actionfraud.org.uk you can help us fight the fraudsters and make the UK a more hostile environment for fraud. It takes all of us to work together to fight fraud - staying silent lets the criminals get away with it.”
