Friends Against Scams, live online sessions for Norfolk community groups

With scams remaining an ever-present issue and recently the rise in COVID-19 related scams have made it as important as ever to ensure as many people as possible are Scam Aware.

Friends Against Scams (FAS) is a National Trading Standards Scams Team initiative which aims to protect and prevent people from becoming victims of scams by empowering everyone to take a stand against scams. Friends Against Scams is designed to inspire action, highlight the scale of the problem, change the perceptions of why people fall for scams and make scams a community, regional and national topic.

Currently face to face FAS training sessions are on hold due to COVID-19 but our colleagues at NatWest who are part of FAS are now able to offer virtual training sessions to groups via Zoom.

If you are part of a community group in Norfolk who are meeting up virtually and would be interesting in receiving a Friends Against Scams training session, please contact any of the NatWest Norfolk Community Bankers, their contact details are:
