So, what is Fraud?
Fraud involves deceiving another person to make a gain for yourself or someone else, or to cause loss to the other person. It can be committed by individuals, groups, or even companies. In the UK, the most common types of fraud include romance fraud, authorised push payment fraud, identity fraud, and investment fraud.
At the Serious Fraud Office, our mission is to investigate and prosecute serious and complex financial crime. We’ve handled some of the most high-profile cases, securing convictions and lengthy sentences on a wide variety of fraud cases.
