Sussex Alerts - Surrey Police and Sussex Police Fraud Newsletter

Dear residents, 

Please find attached the May 2025 edition of the Surrey Police and Sussex Police Fraud Newsletter. 

In this month’s edition, we focus on family messaging WhatsApp scams, some top tips to prevent this and community fraud awareness events.

Every year, the British public loses billions of pounds to fraudsters. 

With scams ranging from the simplest confidence trick to the most sophisticated high-tech online fraud, it pays to keep up to date with the latest news and advice.

For more advice, support, or to report frauds and scams please visit our website here.

For non-emergency incidents or crime prevention advice, click  www.sussex.police.uk,  (If you report a crime online, we will assess it in the same way as a 101 call).  

Call 101 when you do not require an urgent response. In an emergency when life is threatened or there is immediate danger always call 999.  

Speak to us face-to-face at a police station or contact the local policing team at www.sussex.police.uk/area/your-area.
