3. Information: Take Five’s Art of Impersonation fraud campaign

We are supporting @TakeFive’s #TheArtOfImpersonation campaign.

Criminals pretend to be people and organisations we know, in order to gain our trust and ask for payments or personal info.

Take Five is a national campaign offering straight-forward, impartial advice that helps prevent email, phone-based and online fraud – particularly where criminals impersonate trusted organisations.

Find out more information on the Take Five website.
