I reported a cheque fraud and never got a 28 day update letter, after two phone calls I received an email stating they do not have enough information on the crime. That was because they never even bothered to ask for the evidence which I had and had stated to them that I had the evidence for this crime. Action fraud chose to do nothing about it, apart from waste my time and effort in filling out a report. There was no action at all from them and would suggest to people if you do get scammed to learn from the experience as the police and action fraud do not care.

It is said "citizens don't have the right to take the law into their own hands". What's the alternative? If the scroundels at action fraud will not deal with rported crimes then citizens should have the ability to deal with wrong doers themselves. You cannot have it both ways! It seems rioting is the only way to get grievances aired!

Welcome to action fraud - A government quanqo created to absolve the police of any responsibility for investigating fraud while enable the government to state that they take fraud seriously.

I retained all text messages, calls and emails related to the fraud i was exposed to and also the bank statements which recorded where the fraudulent payments went to - received an email from action fraud saying it was a crime - nothing since.

As stated - a government initiative supported by the conservatives in their bid to cut police numbers and spending - vote accordingly in May
