The Little Book of Big Scams This book is a great guide to many of the scams currently taking place in the UK and will increase your awareness of the type of scams that exist and teach you some easy steps that you can take to protect yourself and others. Every year the British public loses billions of pounds to fraudsters who bombard us with online, mail, door-to-door and telephone scams. Scams, or frauds, can be difficult to investigate as they can be complicated and often involve many victims and suspects and enquiries outside of the UK, so prevention, through awareness, is therefore a vital tool in combating these crimes.
