Action we can take

We take firm action to prevent, detect and deter fraud and other economic crime against us.

We have:

  • contacts with national law enforcement agencies and access to systems that identify crime and offenders
  • specially-trained experts who can recover evidence from electronic devices, such as computers and mobile phones
  • police-trained investigators who apprehend offenders and search premises
  • accredited officers who can seize cash and get financial evidence so that assets of criminals can be confiscated

If a person is suspected of crime, we may:

  • access their financial details to establish facts
  • obtain and use search warrants to search premises
  • arrest them

Report fraud

Any report of fraud or economic crime against us will be taken extremely seriously.
