Fraud Additional Information

Victim came across an advert for a job in the adult entertainment industry online. Victim applied for the job and suspect advised victim would need to pay money to register. Victim done so and paid via bank transfer, suspects then advised victim he had to pay again for paperwork and advertising victim also paid that via bank transfer. Suspect was in touch everyday and when victim paid the second amount suspects were no longer in contact. Victim contacted suspect to ask for a refund and they stated he had to wait six weeks. No money has been recovered.

…and I promise this is true!!!

Action Fraud: Victim Updates

When will Police need to input Crimes to Action Fraud?

In most cases the Police can refer anyone reporting a fraud directly to Action Fraud, except:

• When there is a Call for Service• Vulnerable Victims• Fraud involving an outstanding PNC Registered vehicle or plant

machinery

In these cases the officer should create a CRI on the force system.

To generate the national crime reference number they should also enter all details into the Action Fraud Web tool.
