Scams Awareness-20 October to 2 November 2025

It pays to stay #ScamAware

Scams Awareness is an annual campaign aiming to:

  • Give people skills to identify scams
  • Encourage people to share their experiences
  • Help people gain the confidence to report scams

For our 2025 Scams Awareness campaign, we will focus on staying #ScamAware, focusing on an overview of scams advice, highlighting the top 5 scams consumers should be aware of.

By focusing on a number of scams within this campaign, we’re able to create far reaching and wide ranging consumer support in our marketing outreach – and will gain robust polling results for our press outreach. 

Our top 3 messages to consumers:

There is a high chance that scammers will try to take advantage of people looking in the lead up to Christmas
