Changes to reporting fraud to the SFO

28 October, 2024 | News Releases

The Serious Fraud Office is working with City of London police to make it easier for victims to report fraud.

From Monday 28th October 2024, all fraud referrals – unless from companies or whistleblowers – should be made to Action Fraud, either online at www.actionfraud.police.uk/reporting-fraud-and-cyber-crime or via the call centre on 0300 123 2040.

This change brings us in line with all 43 national police forces in England and Wales and the National Crime Agency, supporting strong coordination between agencies to emerging fraud threats and building a better picture of fraud across the country.

If you are a member of public who has been a victim of fraud or wishes to report on behalf of a victim of fraud, please report here to Action Fraud.

If you would like to report an allegation of serious corruption or bribery, or you are a whistleblower or reporting on behalf of a corporate entity, please do so here.
