Helping Protect Tenants from Scams and Fraud

Fraud can happen to anyone and accounts for a significant proportion of reported crime, with criminals using phone calls, emails, texts, social media and doorstep approaches to steal money and personal information.

The impact on tenants can be devastating. Victims may lose savings, fall into debt, experience emotional distress and, in some cases, struggle to meet essential household costs such as rent payments.

The Government's Stop! (Visit the link) Think Fraud - How to stay safe from scams campaign encourages everyone to take a moment before sharing personal information, clicking links, making payments, or responding to unexpected requests. Fraudsters often use pressure, urgency, and impersonation tactics to manipulate victims into acting quickly.
