Report internet  scams and phishing:

Report misleading websites, emails, phone numbers, phone calls or text  messages you think may be suspicious.

Do not give out private information (such as bank details or passwords),  reply to text messages, download attachments or click on any links in emails  if you’re not sure they’re genuine.

Emails:

Forward suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will investigate it.

Text messages:

Forward suspicious text messages to 7726 - it’s free.

This will report the message to your mobile phone provider.

Adverts:

Report scam or misleading adverts to the Advertising Standards  Authority. You can report adverts found online, including in search engines,  websites or on social media.

You can also:

·  Report scam or  misleading adverts to Google if you found them in Google search results.

·  Report to Bing if  you found them in Bing search results.

·  If you think you’ve  been a victim of an online scam or fraud. Contact Action Fraud if you think  you’ve lost money or been hacked because of an online scam or fraud and  you’re in England or Wales. You can report online - either sign up for an  account or continue as a ‘guest’ call 0300 123 2040. 

·  Avoid websites,  emails and phone numbers that imitate government services.

·  Some websites,  emails or phone numbers look like they’re part of an official government  service when they’re not or claim to help more than they actually do. Some  make you pay for things that would be free or cheaper if you used the  official government service.

·  Search on GOV.UK to find official government  services and phone numbers, for example if you want to apply to the DVLA for  a driving licence.
