We’ve created two scams protection checklists to guide you through being able to spot scams and put settings in place to reduce the risk of a fraudster targeting you.

If you answer yes to any of these questions, there’s a good chance it may be a scam.

Investment scams
If you come across an interesting investment opportunity via a search engine or online advert, how can you tell whether it’s genuine or not? Just entering your email address and phone number on rogue investment sites could leave you facing a barrage of cold calls and unsolicited emails.

In this video, we explain what checks you can carry out to ensure an investment site or firm is legitimate or a clone and how to stay one step ahead of fraudsters.

We are excited to tell you more about our SLING YOUR HOOK campaign running throughout July to help tackle scams

WHY ‘SLING YOUR HOOK’?
The campaign taps into the psychology that scammers use to hook people in, helping you stay one step ahead and protect yourself and your loved ones against the increasing variety of scams happening every day. 

Speak up Sutton aims to provide a voice for people with learning disabilities and difficulties on various issues that impact them. Members are aged 18+. Hearing the voices of people with learning disabilities and difficulties on issues that impact their lives is incredibly important, and as an organisation we want to make sure they are involved in the decision making process.

To hear about how important speak up groups are to our members, please see our video, where we asked the question “Why Speak Up?”

If you wish to find out more about this group, please look at this poster for further information.
