Support for victims of fraud or scams

Fraud and scams can be clever and difficult to spot. Here’s what to do if you suspect you have been a victim of a scam, phishing or fraud:

• Contact your bank – they may be able to put a stop on any payments leaving your account and can give advice if your data has been stolen.
• Contact the Police – phone 101, make a report online, or call 999 if you are under any immediate threat.
• Contact the University IT Service Desk team – if you have opened a link or attachment on your device.
• Contact the Harassment and Misconduct team – if you feel you need further support.

You can also report the incident to the national fraud and cyber-crime reporting centre, Action Fraud.
