Action Fraud has been on the radio recently. They are employed by the police to receive calls from the public about fraud. They only investigate an incredibly small amount of the calls they get and actively try and put off the victim from taking things further.
They really do sound like an appalling organisation.

Not wanting to split hairs. They are a private company contracted by the Home Office and linked to City of London Police who run the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB). They don’t carry out any prosecutions. They should analyse fraud reports and where frauds are identified pass out to the relevant law enforcement agency to investigate. Police Forces love it as fraud reports don’t impact on their crime figures. Problem is most regional police forces only have a handful of fraud investigators. City of London and MPS are overwhelmed with major frauds and as a result some regional forces have taken on jobs that should have been investigated elsewhere. As a result you have instances of one officer investigating several major frauds on their own each in effect a major investigation quite often more complex than a murder which would automatically have a large team allocated. This in turn leads to investigations sometimes taking several years to reach conviction. Gets even more ingesting when you seize a suspects computer and have to review hundreds of thousands of files looking for evidence but also to assess whether or not there is material that assists the defence.
 
Sorry Yu got scammed me as well some 2months ago
It's great Yu got some action from police.Was it straight forward to get the bank involved I just thort my money was lost forever cos I paid it in myself.But again it's great Yu got some action on these scum.

Because it was a bank transfer the bank will claim off the bank it was transferred to and the fraud team in the bank will get involved to, all I know is that they traced it to a Santander account in merseyside, they have also been trying to use my engineers ids trying to sell them on to estate agents
 
Funny that as i rang fraud department and gave statements atnpolice station and called scotland police and Gloucestershire police and they were NOT intrested.
They are all a waste of time.
No one has got back to me or do e anythig. Total joke.

Iv had about 20 companies call me in relation to this fraud so there must be heaps more thatn that who have been victims

I’m still waiting to hear off them, it is horrible that people do this to people, all I know is they have to build up a case on them so if more people report them and send over the emails and numbers then hopefully they will get court well we can only hope,
