Scams Awareness Month Campaign

EDM number 738 in 2009-10, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 27/01/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Consumers.

That this House welcomes the Office of Fair Trading's Scams Awareness month, run in partnership with 125 local authority trading standards services; notes with concern that over three million United Kingdom consumers fall victim to scams sent by email, internet, post, text and the telephone, collectively losing £3.5 billion; recognises the success of the previous Scamnesty campaigns that call on consumers to drop scam mailings they have received into designated Scamnesty bins or boxes at local libraries and public areas across the country; believes that widespread advice on how to spot scams will help people avoid being deceived in future; and calls on hon. Members to support this campaign in their constituencies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 85 MPs.
