North Yorkshire Community Messaging

My name is Andy Fox and I am the Counter Fraud Coordinator for the Yorkshire & Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit.

During Covid, I created a number of online fraud advisory sessions labelled ‘Ask the Experts’ These were online sessions via Microsoft Teams advising people about fraud and how to protect yourself from scammers.

Many young people will be getting ready to attend university. This is an exciting time for them and a worrying time for their parents.

Unfortunately students are targeted by scammers, usually on social media with such scams as rental fraud, money muling, ‘get rich quick’ scams ticket scams and a particular worrying trend of sextortion.

Yorkshire & Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit are hosting another of the popular ’Ask the Experts’ evening to support students and their parents, advising on the types of scams currently in use, how to spot them and how to stay safe including advice on how to protect yourself online.

The evening will consist of a number of presentations from officers from our Fraud and Cyber Crime Unit within the Regional Organised Crime Unit. As usual there will be the opportunity to ask questions of our panel of experts.

This event will be conducted using Microsoft Teams and persons registering for the event will be emailed a link prior to the date. You do not need to have Microsoft Teams installed on your computer to participate, just a good internet link
