⚠️ National Fraud by Abuse of Position Awareness Week ⚠️
This week marks National Fraud by Abuse of Position Awareness Week. New figures from City of London Police reveal that trusted family members, friends, and carers stole £51 million from pensioners, a stark reminder of how important it is to protect vulnerable people from this type of abuse.
This kind of fraud can be particularly hard to talk about because it involves people who are meant to be trusted, but raising awareness is an important first step in helping to prevent it, and in supporting anyone affected.
