Local Priorities Fraud Message

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Fraud, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Enfield Town SNT recently held one of their quarterly "Fraud & Scam Prevention Events" inside the Enfield Town Barclays Bank branch. Thank you to everyone who came and spoke to us. These events are always valuable and we walked away with several crime reports to log on the police system that may have otherwise gone unreported. Thank you to the Barclays Bank team who are always so gracious in hosting us, we'll be at the Official Branch Launch Event event on Thursday 29 January between 10:30-12:00.

Fraud can affect anyone within the community, so we want to make sure you have the tools and knowledge to protect yourself from it. It comes in many different forms and across varying channels, whether that's through emails, phone calls or in person encounters. Some adults may be even more vulnerable to fraud or financial abuse, but it is something that everyone can be at risk of. If you’re concerned about someone you know, please contact your local social services and ask for Adult Social Care.

Please see a few resources below to protect you and others from potential fraudsters: 

• Learn the ten golden rules to prevent fraud.
• Find out about the most common types of fraud.
• Download The Little Book of Big Scams to find out more. The Little Book of Big Scams audio version is also available.
