Each story pieces together how a scam occurred and what to do to avoid it. Find the ‘Big Con’ Newsletter here. For future reference, this link can be accessed via the main menu of this website (Health, Safety & Support/Safety & Crime Prevention) and will include future editions of the ‘Big Con’. Check regularly and stay aware of the latest scams and fraud.

Don’t be Scammed in 2026: Call 159
If you are concerned about a phone call from your bank and think you are being contacted by a fraudster or scammer, call 159. 159 is a safe way to contact your bank and most banks have signed up to this scheme. When calling 159, you will be taken through a menu in which each bank taking part in the scheme is read aloud for you to select. But be aware that scammers sometimes keep the line open, play a ringtone and then answer as your bank. To be sure, it’s best to use another phone or ring a different number first.
