Scams and their victims

A report on the impact of scams on the most vulnerable in society. 

This report uses evidence from CAB across Scotland to show the impact scams can have on the most vulnerable in society. It also shows how scams are increasing in scope and spreading into all of the advice areas offered by bureaux. By raising awareness of the issue and offering advice on how to protect from scams, we hope to educate and empower consumers and make it harder for scammers to operate.
