💨 Abstract

In the first quarter of 2025, high street bank customers in Devon, Derbyshire, and several other regions, including Greater London, lost a total of £18 million to fraud, with Devon and Derbyshire each losing over £1.3 million. These figures highlight the scale of money made by scammers and underscore the prevalence of fraud as the most common crime in the UK, costing an estimated £6.8 billion annually.
