I contacted Action Fraud because I became aware of a scam. Bookleaf publishing conned me out of money and failed to publish my work yet the book is advertised for sale. This should have happened a year ago. I contacted Action Fraud, they have done nothing. I am updating and they tell me they can do nothing, Like the Police in general they are useless. What is the point of such a force when they cant even do a job. You waste your time here
I wasted hours of my life reporting a huge investment scam of over £600k perpetrated on my elderly aunt to Action Fraud. What a complete waste of my time. I might as well have been talking to the cat. The time could have been more usefully devoted to comforting my aunt who was dying of cancer and coming to terms with the fraud that I had discovered. Action Fraud is a distasteful farce and a complete waste of public funding. Ineffectual rude and incompetent
An absolute waste of space & time. I reported a fraud case to these people about a company I paid for a CSCS card that I never received. The company was even trading under a fake name & address & I informed Action Fraud of all this information with solid black & white evidence, However, after about two months after I had reported the case they finally decided to send me a letter basically stating they weren't prepared to take the case on with a little booklet with information in it giving advice as to how to spot or avoid fraud that was absolute of no use at all. They are a complete & utter waste of space.
Impossible site to navigate. Full of fraught glitches. Wasted £££££££trying to get through on their number. Worse than useless, thoroughly unhelpful live chat line. Spent hours doing their work for them gathering all the information on the fraudsters and then the report wouldn't submit and it was impossible to save. An email and acknowledging receipt of an unfilled in report came from a noreply email address. Don't bother I have since heard from my bank they don't do anything anyway. Waste of time and effort
Thers no place where to turn when being scammed, Action Fraud is a Charity bussiness site to collect data and play statistics with the Gov.Police not interested unless related to descrimination against race, sex etc but scamms unless is a celebrity who was been scammed.
After reporting the issues to AF they call you back to on pretence of gave you advice? And ask you some money as a donation.
I just wonder how much are getting the director of AF something like £350.000 a year like Cancer Research manager director?.
Fraudster operating for years and not even pursued.
Home address is out there no the web and the guy has been struck off on Companies House.
STILL no action.
I inform puppy scam for action fraud. I told them I am happy to give this scammers email address and address they given me and also phone number. You what actions fraud people told me. Fraud was not happened so we can take action so that means some one should have to scam you then we can take action. This site s such a use less do not inform them they don't deserve it. Scammers offered me a golden retriever puppy for £400 with out seems puppy.And I saw on Facebook so many members they loosen their money exactly same method they use I told account fraud that all so still all that lady picked phone was not very interested to act because what she says some one reduced price of puppy she not seen any problems. Such a ridicules feeling I have that time so many evidence is there but still relax tented to take action. Scam people came first they told me they are Chrity they came with old lady photos with Facebook when I asked kc registration of dog they disappeared. So please my friend s do not inform action froud they not use full at all
I'm waiting on phone to so-called action fraud.It's been 19 minutes.No answer.It's USING MY calling credit at MY expense & I'm being a good citizen in TRYING to report fraud. What a disgusting non service!
This organisation is a total waste of funds. Even when you present them with information about fraud against you, they do absolutely NOTHING!
Don't waste your time with this worthless fraud assisting service, if some c**t stitched you up sort it out yourself - reporting it to these vermin just gives them a lead if a fraudster has an 'accident'
I had a bad experience with action fraud some years ago, actually nothing was done and I never received a reply. At that time I reported the incident online. The money which I lost was not much. I never heard anything from Action fraud, except the very first email in which they wrote that have received my report. That was it. And this year in March my disabled friend was the victim of fraud. I helped him reporting it on the phone. The same as with me some years ago: he only received an email from Action Fraud that they have received the report. I called them several times to find what is up just to be told the police have not looked at it yet, and I have no hope now that they ever will look at it. Perhaps the amount which my disabled friend lost, is not big enough. We have signed the petition.
Like all of you here you have had a terrible experience through Action Fraud, and found they actually do nothing to help. I have experienced the same stone walling in my own Cyberfraud case and found not the police, Action Fraud, my bank or anyone could actually do anything about it. Action Fraud is completely understaffed and overwhelmed, so they only focus on about 20% of the biggest cases, leaving everything else 'on the shelf'. The Police can't help you either as they can not act on behalf of Action Fraud! It's a big mess and the criminals know it.
Let's change the current system and make it better, so that criminals are held accountable for their actions.
I made this petition for change, please sign it and let's do something about this.

I am a widow and always have paid my taxes
Several months ago I contacted Sussex Police regarding an Ebay scam and they said that they could not act because it had to be dealt with by Inaction Fraud. So I laboriously filled in the form that set out the identity of the criminal, his address, Ebay user name and other dodgy sales and current Ebay listings (selling "silver" necklaces marked with 925 that weren't silver). I have now received an email saying that they were going to forward all the details to Sussex Police. Now I used to work for the Metropolitan Police and am very used to obtaining the evidence needed for a prosecution. All that Inaction Fraud have done is to delay any investigation by months so that the criminal can move elsewher to carry on his scams. I have made a formal complaint against Inaction Fraud and suggest that others who have suffered the same treatment to do likewise. Action Fraud is totally unfit for purpose and is actually helping criminals to escape prosecution.
The stat for someone criminally prosecuted for fraud is 1 in 500 that came from Proffesor Mark Button at the university of Portsmouth
The police can't tell the public " we have not got the manpower or the expertise to tackle all this fraud" so the illusion of " action fraud" was formed
Yes they are ther to collate the information, if the police do " anything" it's passed to the cps.
Can you get money back from being defrauded, sadly the stats come up, against you to get criminal compensation there has to be a " prosecution" so it's 1 in 500
You can bring a civil case but that cost, in short if you have been defrauded get on with life.
They have taken your money and the chances of you getting " justice" is remote, they don't want to tell you that but it's the truth.
I would never ever report fraud again, HMRC, trading standards, insolvency agency, companies house, intelligence service, the police and the smokescreen in my opinion " action fraud"
The system favours the fraudsters, 1 in 500 leads to a criminal conviction, remember folk " crime does not pay" yes it does because the system is "f*****" and they know it so do HMRC civil and criminal, the police and all the others.
For almost a month reported and when I asked the if they found him, no answer from them, they will only give case # nothing done
Only wasted my time for nothing. "What do they do there? - Nothing, absolutly nothing. That's right.
At first glance, these guys seem like exactly what you need. In practice, they are no help whatsoever.
These people have no idea what they are doing. They constantly just copy and paste their generic replies and have no interest in helping you. You have to push for information and help from them, They will just keep pushing you to make a report that never gets read or replied to. Online chat agents are rude and the phone number is not even worth calling, unless you want to be on hold for an hour listening to an automated recording play every 5 seconds.
Honestly, your time is better spent contacting banks, passport offices and any institutions that are directly affected with your issue.
These guys are simply there to make sure they have all the numbers and statistics for their crime report.
Don't bother.
First of all you'd are all dumb as hell for getting scammed and cry about it because you'd are soooooo dumb and want to blame someone else, second action fraud is a reporting centre who's employees are civilians not mi5 you $#*!s, they don't hunt the criminal down they litirally tell u that all they do is take a report but seeing that yous all don't have a brain cell between you hence the Reason why you have been scammed (hahahaha) you'd would understand that
Yours truly
Your dad sells Avon
Answer: The chances of any fraud resulting in a criminal conviction is 1 in 500, that came from Proffesor Marc Button,. The police are skint, not only do the fraudster get away with the monies, they statistically have a very very slim chance of getting criminally prosecuted. So every 10000 frauds reported only 20 end up with a conviction, the polices cant say " you have no chance at all" they create a illusion called " action fraud" this makes the people think " fraud" is taken seriously. Insolvency agency, companies house " good 5 billion fraud every year by abuse of the system" intelligence service, trading standards in regard to fraud by non CE devices being placed on the market. In short when you report fraud " it's pass the buck" I'm sorry to be so blunt, you can try the civil route " I know spend more money to get money back" My advice don't contact any one, thevfraud that I knew took place is in the region of 1 billion and " nothing was done"
Answer: Action Fraud is a rubber stamp. The funding going into it is a waste of our hard tax payers income. I am now on the "taking matters into my own hands" line, because without this, the fraudster can never be caught.
Answer: Forget it, try and resolve the matter yourself. Action fraud is a fraud itself. It is just a mirage set up to deceive us into thinking we can be safe. They do absolutely NOTHING!
Answer: 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!
