RE: RF26080371013C
Dear Shantanu Panigrahi
We are sorry to hear you have been a victim of crime. Thank you for taking the time to report Recovery Fraud. This is now being reviewed.
Fraud and cyber crime is the fastest growing crime in the UK, which at times increases demand on Report Fraud. This service has recently been uplifted to accommodate the increase in reporting. Please be assured your report will receive all necessary attention.
We will examine the information you have provided, and an assessment will then be made to determine whether a UK police force/ law enforcement agency could successfully investigate the crime. Not all reports are forwarded for investigation but please keep safe any evidence which you feel may be important. Report Fraud does not need sight of the physical correspondence or evidence, please keep this safe to support an investigation if progressed.
The assessment of your report’s content against other linked crime reports is a continuous process. In addition, the information you have provided may be used to disrupt criminal activity.
Please be assured that by contacting us you are giving the police vital information they need to protect you and others. From information provided, we have summarised that:
Someone contacted you about recovering money lost in a previous investment fraud.
Based on your report, we would like to share the following advice:
How to protect yourself from Recovery Fraud
Recovering money: The police or government agencies will never ask for fees to recover money you have lost to fraud.
Transferring money: Your bank or the police will never ask you to transfer money to a safe account.
Couriers: Your bank or the police will never send a courier to your home to collect bank cards, cash or other valuables.
What to do if you have been a victim of Recovery Fraud
If you have made a payment: Inform your bank as soon as possible, they can help you prevent any further losses. Monitor your bank statements regularly for any unusual activity.
Identity theft: If you have shared personal or financial information, and suspect your identity may have been stolen, you can check your credit file quickly and easily online. You should do this every few months anyway, using a reputable service provider and follow up on any unexpected or suspicious results. You can also sign up for Cifas services which can help to protect you against fraud.
You could be targeted again: Fraudsters sometimes re-establish contact with previous victims claiming that they can help them recover lost money, this is just a secondary scam. Hang up on any callers that claim they can get your money back for you.
Queries: If you have any questions or concerns relating to your Report Fraud report, please contact us directly by visiting www.reporting.reportfraud.police.uk, or by calling 0300 123 2040.
