Take Five Campaign

Posted on February 17, 2017

Take Five is a national campaign encouraging people to stop and think for 5 minutes, and prevent financial fraud.

The campaign offers plain and impartial advice to help everyone to protect themselves against preventable financial fraud (including email deception and phone-based scams, as well as online fraud). There are also videos detailing the kinds of tactics used to get people to reveal their information, and how taking 5 minutes to think can help.

Take Five is led by Financial Fraud Action UK Ltd, and is being delivered with and through a range of partners, including law enforcement agencies, public and third sector members.

For further information, please visit the Take Five website.
