Fraud & Scam Prevention

Fraud and scams are an ongoing risk for businesses of all sizes. Join Bristol BID, Bristol Crime Reduction Partnership and NatWest for a free session looking at how businesses can spot potential scams, protect themselves and their customers and know what to do if something doesn’t look right.

The session will cover some of the latest fraud trends, practical ways to reduce the risk to your business and what to do if you think you have been targeted.

We will also be joined by a Fraud Protection Police Officer from Avon and Somerset Police, who will share the police perspective on fraud and answer your questions.
