Fraud Survey

Closes 8 June 2025

This survey is being carried out by Essex’s Multi Agency Approach to Fraud group. The partnership brings together agencies including the Police, local councils and community groups to find ways to protect people from fraud/scams and support victims. There are many different types of fraud – from phishing to pension scams to prize draw scams to door stop traders – and we know that any of us could unfortunately fall victim at some point.
